Counsel for the Attorney General has agreed that only some of the building exceptions at IKEA's newly opened branch in Moshav Eshtaol near Beit Shemeshj will have to be closed off. The development company which owns the land and the building on which the IKEA branch operates has said in previous discussions on the matter with the Jerusalem District Appeals Committee that it is prepared to seal them up. Consequently Jerusalem District Court Judge Alexander Ron has said that he will send the decision on the matter to be both parties.
