Right-wing lawmakers praise cabinet decision to begin legalizing West Bank outpost
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRight-wing lawmakers praise the cabinet’s decision to advance the legalization of the Havat Gilad settlement outpost following the murder of resident Rabbi Raziel Shevach.
“Whoever tries to harm settlement and the settlers should know we won’t give up and won’t surrender to murder,” Likud Minister Ze’ev Elkin tweets. “Continued settlement and construction through Judea and Samaria are the Zionist response to this criminal murder.”
“The government is fulfilling its obligation to regularize the settlement as we promised to the family of Rabbi Raziel after the attack,” Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely says in a tweet. “All those who use abominable terror will understand today that these actions will only deepen our hold on the land of our country.”
