Right-wing MKs press Netanyahu to legalize outposts while Trump is president
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRight-wing lawmakers are circulating a petition calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to legalize West Bank outposts in the last gasps of the Trump presidency, Channel 12 reports.
The letter calls for Netanyahu to authorize 70 unrecognized West Bank outposts, home to some 20,000 people.
Those supporting it include a handful of Likud lawmakers and some opposition Yisrael Beytenu MKs, as well as Yamina leader Naftali Bennett.
“It’s unfair, unreasonable and irresponsible to leave these settlements without status, and the tens of thousands of residents without rights,” it says.
