The petitioners' representative, attorney David Rotem, asked the court to allow the settlers to saw through the structures above their foundations and move the buildings, intact, to the nearby settlement of Ofra.

Rotem said that in a meeting held the previous day between Attorney-General Manahem Mazuz and former MK Hanan Porat, Mazuz had told Porat that the offer was "reasonable." However, the state's representative, attorney Osnat Mandel, denied that Mazuz had expressed support for the proposal. Mazuz contacted Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who told him that the army was against the plan.
