Likud backbencher joins hunger strike for West Bank funding
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud MK Oren Hazan announces he will be joining a hunger strike launched earlier on Sunday by a group of settler leaders and representatives of bereaved families. The activists are demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately transfer funds he pledged for West Bank security and infrastructure development.
Hazan says that he is currently not in good health, having undergone two operations in the last month.
However, after seeing “bereaved families sitting here in the cold, hunger-striking in order to obtain security for the residents of Judea and Samaria, something that is really my responsibility and your responsibility, Mr. Prime Minister,” Hazan announces that he will join the protest.
