The occupation allows settlers to return to the northern West Bank
The website of the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom revealed, this evening, Wednesday, that the Israeli Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, issued an order to start implementing a law passed by the Knesset about two months ago, related to the abolition of the disengagement law from settlements in the northern West Bank.
According to the Hebrew site, Galant ordered the Israeli army command in the West Bank to secure the entry of settlers to those areas, and to provide them with full protection.
According to the site, this step is important on the political and security levels, and will allow settlers to return to the Homesh al-Makhalla outpost, which was declared an official recognized settlement a short time ago.
He pointed out that the possibility of moving the religious school in the Homesh outpost a few hundred meters will be studied, in order for it to be "legitimate" after the Supreme Court's refusal previously to keep it in its place and evacuate it because it is on private Palestinian lands.
