Knesset speaker says cabinet vote on West Bank outpost a ‘victory over terror’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKnesset speaker Yuli Edelstein praises the government decision to legalize the Havat Gilad settlement outpost in response to the murder of resident Rabbi Raziel Shevach.
“Recognizing Havat Gilad is a victory over terror. ‘As they beat us, we will multiply and spread,”” he says in a statement, paraphrasing a passage from the book of Exodus.
Edelstein says the move will ensure that the death of Shevach “will not be for nothing.”
“We will continue to work toward providing infrastructure, lighting and security needs across Judah and Samaria in order to provide citizens with maximum possible security,” he says of the West Bank.
