Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning instructing Jewish settlers not to “grab land illegally” in the occupied West Bank
At the same time, Netanyahu repeatedly endorsed the construction of settlements approved by the government, which are considered illegal under international law. “Calls to grab land illegally and actions of grabbing land illegally, are unacceptable to me. They undermine law and order in Judea and Samaria [West Bank] and must stop immediately,” he said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday. “Not only will we not back such actions, our government will take strong action against them.
“Israel’s security forces are operating against those rioters, risking the lives of IDF soldiers, Israel Police officers and ISA personnel,” the statement said, adding that arrests would be made as the violence “diverts the security forces from their main mission of operating against Palestinian terrorism.
