Herzog meets soldiers in Hebron Hills, says fringe extremists must be shown ‘enough is enough’

President Isaac Herzog met with soldiers serving in the Hebron Hills and condemned “a vocal minority group” who are damaging the reputation of the settlement movement and the IDF, his office says.

“It is important to me on this occasion to strengthen Central Command head Yehuda Fox, who is going through difficult days of blatant, insolent and ugly personal attacks,” Herzog tells the soldiers.

“The IDF is doing everything – as I see here with the Yehuda Brigade – everything to protect the residents. The residents and the IDF are one in so many ways,” he continues.

“There is a vocal minority group that is causing terrible damage to the settlement movement and the IDF and it is extremely important that we stand up to them and make it clear to them that enough is enough.”

“I would like to strengthen the war cabinet headed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, and all the members of the cabinet for the balanced and responsible decisions,” he adds.
