Ministers say will legalize 9 West Bank outposts ‘in response to murderous terror’

The security cabinet has approved legalizing nine illegal West Bank outposts “in response to the murderous terror attacks in Jerusalem.”

In a statement, ministers say the communities that will be legalized “have existed for many years, some for decades.

The outposts are Avigayil, Beit Hogla, Givat Harel, Givat Arnon, Mitzpe Yehuda, Malachei HaShalom, Asa’el, Sde Boaz, and Shaharit.

Ministers also agreed to move forward with new construction in existing settlements.
