PM: We all share in pain of evacuated Amona residents
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the whole country feels the distress of the settlers who were evacuated from Amona, but adds that the evacuation was unavoidable due to the demands of the law.
“We know [these are] difficult days,” he says during a visit to the settlement of Ariel. “We made every effort to avoid getting to this point, but ultimately we abide by the demands of the law because we are a law-abiding nation. I and you all share in the great pain of the families who were forced to leave their homes, who actually had to abandon their lives.”
