IDF freezes ban on Israelis driving W. Bank Palestinians
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday froze any application of an order prohibiting Israeli citizens from giving rides in their cars to Palestinian residents of the West Bank without special permission.

The planned order has been severely criticized by lawyers and human rights organizations, and petitions against it have been filed in the High Court of Justice.

GOC Central Command Yair Naveh, who issued the order, said the decision to freeze its application reflected both operational and unsettled legal issues.

The order was said to help stop the smuggling of Palestinians into Israel in cars that belong to Israelis (for the most part, Israeli Arabs). The order was made public November 19, and was set to go into effect Friday.
