Ruling: Since the document that the sides signed states that all other agreements are void, even if the unsigned one could have been relevant, it is not consequential. Actually, though, even the clause in the unsigned document only absolves def from payment if they try and do not succeed to sell their rights to a third party.
Regarding grounds for a refund, the fact that def1 has not succeeded in years to transfer ownership to pl is not grounds for breach of contract. The nature of this niche of property acquisition in Yehuda and Shomron is arduous and speculative, and pl did not prove that def1 did not go about it seriously. Regarding comp2’s rights to the land, it is true that def was unable to provide strong evidence, but they did provide some indications, and it is possible that according to Jordanian law, which applies here, it may suffice. Therefore, pl has not proven a mekach ta’ut (erroneous purchase) based on this alone.
However, what is sufficiently indicative of mekach ta’ut is that def1 was requested and warned several times to substantiate his claim of a share in comp2 and did not do so. The Rosh (Shut 107:6) rules that a litigant’s failure to provide information beit din seeks when he is presumed to have it is a strong indication that his claim is contradicted by what he is withholding. The claim of a close relationship between def2 and the owner of comp2 was not proven. Even if it were, a buyer should not be expected to rely on such trust between his seller and the possible owner of rights. Thus, there are multiple reasons to consider the purchase a mekach ta’ut.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.

D'varim Judaism’s Social Vision
Re’eh
Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 9 - "Seeing is Believing" (parag. 21-30)
These paragraphs elaborate on the theme that seeing and knowing is better than any attempt to prove logically, and begins explaining the difference between Israel and gentiles.
