Gantz visits Bedouin women assaulted by settlers at West Bank outpost
National Unity chairman Benny Gantz visits Rahat to meet with the four residents who were attacked by settlers after accidentally entering an illegal outpost in the southern West Bank last week.
“I came to apologize on behalf of the absolute majority of the Israeli public. This attack is neither humane nor Jewish,” Gantz tells the women, according to a statement from his office.
Earlier this week, far-right Otzma Yehudit MK Limor Son Har Melech defended the actions of the settlers.
