Netanyahu: No settlement will be uprooted, ‘we’re through with that nonsense’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDuring a visit to the northern West Bank, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says: “We will not allow any community in the Land of Israel to be uprooted.”
Netanyahu was attending a ceremony marking 40 years since the establishment of the Samaria Regional Council.
“No communities will be uprooted. Not those of Jews, and by the way, not those of Arabs either. We’re through with that nonsense.”
Council head Yossi Dagan tells him: “Now is the time to extend sovereignty on Judea and Samaria” — in reference to premier’s promise before the April election to annex Israeli settlements.
“Not just on the communities that make up only 3 percent of the territory, but on the empty lands and state lands…that await Jewish settlement,” Dagan adds.
