Bennett urges Netanyahu to prevent razing of illegal settlement homes

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.
