Israeli media reported Wednesday that the country's outgoing attorney general has okayed a deal between the government and West Bank settlers that would retroactively authorize an outpost established without official approval.
FILE - Israeli settlers and soldiers gather at the recently established wildcat outpost of Eviatar near the West Bank city of Nablus, Thursday, July 1, 2021. Israel's attorney general has okayed a deal between the government and West Bank settlers that would retroactively authorize the outpost established without official approval, Israeli media reported Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022.
Under the agreement reached last year, the settlers left the outpost peacefully and the area became a closed military zone, with the houses and roads erected remaining in place. As part of the deal, a survey was carried out which, according to media reports, determined that part of the land was not owned by Palestinians, paving the way for the establishment of a religious school and for some settler families to return.
Michal Rozin, a lawmaker with the Meretz faction, which is part of the government and supports Palestinian statehood, said the approval was “a victory for the violence of the outlaws in the outposts,” noting in a tweet that the move violated the coalition's decision to avoid divisive issues to ensure its stability.
