In Khan al-Ahmar tour, Likud lawmakers join right-wing NGO in calling for hamlet’s razing
Likud lawmakers Tzipi Hotovely and Yehudah Glick join the right-wing Regavim NGO in a tour overlooking Khan al-Ahmar during which they called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stand by his promise to raze the West Bank hamlet.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday that he intends to carry out the evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar. We support his decision and ask him to stand by his word and carry out the evacuation as soon as possible,” says Hotovely.
“The evacuation of this place based on the High Court’s decision cannot be just a matter of words,” says Glick.
To be clear, the top legal body ruled that the state is allowed to demolish the Bedouin hamlet, not that it is obligated to do so.
