Residents of the Amona settlement, which is slated for evacuation, tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to save their outpost from destruction, or they will act “as a wall” to stop the removal.

“We turn to Netanyahu, 40 families and 200 children, we have lived in your hands,” Avichai Boaron says, “by your hands, save Amona from destruction.”

The residents, in their press conference, are responding to a High Court of Justice decision to refuse the state’s request for a postponement of the evacuation.

“If you fulfill your mission, we will all stand up and salute you. If you betray it, we will stand as a wall, together with our supporters from across the country who will come here to protest the evacuation,” Boaron says.
