Defense minister moves to legalize West Bank outpost of terror victim

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman proposes an official cabinet decision to grant legal recognition to the illegal West Bank outpost Havat Gilad.

The outpost was home to the late Raziel Shevach, who was murdered in a terror attack on a nearby road on Wednesday.

Liberman’s proposal, which must still be passed by a vote of ministers, says the new official settlement will be recognized only on Israeli-owned land.
