Family of rabbi slain in West Bank stabbing calls for new settlement building
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe family of Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal, who was killed Monday in a West Bank terror stabbing, calls for the government to approve the construction of hundreds of new housing units in the settlement where he lived.
“Mr. President, I ask of you to do everything you can to ensure the expansion of the settlement,” Ben-Gal’s widow Miriam tells President Rivlin as he visited the family’s home in Har Bracha for a condolence visit.
She says approving such construction is “what can console us.”
