Likud MK Danny Danon criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to request the High Court allow the government a delay in demolishing the West Bank Bedouin hamlet of Khan al-Ahmar

“The new government’s answer to the High Court, which tries to avoid the eviction of Khan al-Ahmar, is a dangerous precedent and gives support to illegal Palestinian construction,” says Danon.

“We were elected to change the faltering policy of the previous government, not to continue it,” he says.

Dannon, a former ambassador to the UN, has become a vocal critic of Netanyahu since he was passed over for a senior position in the new government.
