Quoting Yinon Achiman (ינון אחימן, head of the Efrat Council, an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank):

"As someone who headed the council for 15 years, I can say that the settlement enterprise owes a great deal to the Supreme Court and to Aharon Barak. The protection they provided — sometimes also through non-intervention — allowed the settlement enterprise to expand and develop."

Reminder: the Israeli government appointed Barak as an ad hoc judge to serve on the International Court of Justice case South Africa v. Israel, brought against Israel by South Africa on charges of genocide.
