Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett is urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent the court-ordered razing of a dozen homes illegally built in an West Bank outpost.
“For too long, Israel’s policies have been moving in the wrong direction, he tells supporters at a rally in support of Netiv Avot residents.
“For too many years has contributed to destroying settlements,” Bennett charges.
Bennett, whose pro-settlement party is a member of Netanyahu’s government, assures the prime minister that if he acts to prevent the razing of homes that “we will be behind you.”
Last year, the High Court of Justice ruled that 17 buildings in Netiv Avot were constructed on private Palestinian land and ordered they be demolished by March 8, 2018.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
