Knesset speaker says razing outpost will only increase West Bank building
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says the court-ordered razing of illegally built homes in Netiv Ha’avot will only spur on more Israeli construction in the West Bank.
“It is unnecessary suffering for the families and children, and it is a shame that we have been forced to reach this situation,” he says.
He goes on to claim that claims by Palestinian landowners whose petition led to the High Court ruling ordering the demolition were fake. He says all they managed to accomplish was more Jewish construction in the West Bank.
