Cabinet to vote on recognizing Havat Gilad outpost next week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Defense Ministry says that the cabinet will vote on Sunday to approve Havat Gilad as a full-fledged settlement, less than a month after resident Raziel Shevach was gunned down by a Palestinian terrorist outside the illegal outpost.
The vote was scheduled for last week, but was pulled at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Right-wing ministers and lawmakers demanded the legalization of Havat Gilad, where Shevach, the 35-year-old father of six, lived.
Shevach was shot dead earlier this month as he was driving in his car on the highway near his home.
