The Justice Ministry&#8217;s decision cited a &#8216;lack of clarity in relation to the company&#8217;s obligations under the current franchise&#8217;, despite the Water Tribunal&#8217;s ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Adam Teva V&#8217;Din petitioned the High Court of Justice against the Water Authority&#8217;s failure to &#8216;collect water debts&#8217; in September, 2022. Our petition notes that both the Water Law and the Dead Sea Concession Law are applicable to DSW&#8217;s industrial operations. At the Court hearing in June, 2023, the justices issued an conditional order requiring the State of Israel to explain the failure to charge DSW for water consumption, by September 2023.  The State has requested an extension and is now due to submit its response by November 14, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/adamteva.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-10-at-13.50.39-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Attorneys Bar Rozov and Merav Abady in the High Court\" class=\"wp-image-3936\" style=\"width:527px;height:395px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamteva.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-10-at-13.50.39-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/adamteva.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-10-at-13.50.39-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/adamteva.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-10-at-13.50.39-1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adam Teva V&#8217;Din attorneys Meirav Abady and Bar Rozov at the High Court of Justice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adamteva.org.il\/en\/tag\/dead-sea\/\">Read all previous Dead Sea articles here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Justice forgives Dead Sea Works for refusing to pay for water it uses at its minerals extraction facility on the Dead Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1398,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"categories":[62],"tags":[107,86,76],"class_list":["post-2582","news_and_updates","type-news_and_updates","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dead-sea","tag-litigation","tag-natural-resources"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
