Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon defends the decision to demolish illegally built structures in Beit El.

“I have acted, and currently act, in support of the settlement in Judea and Samaria, including in Beit El, and the majority of the peaceful people there know that,” Ya’alon says. “But those who think I will violate the law are wrong. I will not allow lawlessness.”
