Meretz party head tears into government over new Hebron homes

The leader of the left-wing Meretz party excoriates the government for approving plans to build new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank city of Hebron.

“The Hebron settlement needs to be evacuated, not enlarged. It is as if the pyromaniac government is buying a barrel of fuel for [NIS] 21 million only to fuel a messianic hallucination that costs us in security, and starting today also in education, agriculture and equality,” MK Tamar Zandberg writes on Facebook.
