On 18 June 2019, the Arab Human Rights Centre in Golan Heights (“Al-Marsad”), was notified that Energix Renewable Energies (“Energix”) filed a suit alleging that the organization had violated Israel’s defamation law and the anti-boycott law. The lawsuit came after Al-Marsad published a final report on its investigation about Energix’s development of an energy project that would occupy agricultural land of the occupied Golan that is still controlled by native Syrians. Al-Marsad argues that there is no violation of the defamation law or the anti-boycott law and requests the dismissal of the complaint since the lawsuit aims to stop their human rights work.  On 1 October 2019, Al-Marsad submitted its response denying the violation of the Anti-Defamation Act of 1965 and the Anti-Boycott Act of 2011. The response requests the dismissal of the lawsuit.  In February 2020, an initial hearing took place before the Nazareth Magistrate’s Court. Al-Marsad rejected a possible settlement with the company. Subsequent hearings were postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions and due to Israeli holidays. Deliberations in the case are still in early stages. We invited Energix Renewable Energies to respond; it did not. We will publish a response if received in the future
