Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene a meeting this evening on the government’s policy on evacuating the illegal Bedouin hamlet of Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank, Hebrew media reports.
The meeting will include Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Netanyahu’s military secretary and government secretary, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir — the latter two of whom have publicly protested the reported intention to walk back the years-long intention to evacuate the encampment.
