T. Belman. This article is silent whether his edict applies to illegal Arab construction in Area C. Apparently not.
Prime Minister Netanyahu orders that the law be enforced over illegal Arab construction without double standards.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has held two discussions in the last two weeks concerning the enforcement of the law when it comes to illegal construction in the Arab sector, it was reported on Thursday.
The meetings attended by Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan, Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh, and other officials.
During the discussions, Netanyahu instructed the relevant officials to work to issue demolition orders for the illegal structures, located in Arab towns in northern and southern Israel, as well as in eastern Jerusalem.
“There will be no double standards regarding construction,” clarified Netanyahu. “There will be equal enforcement of the law in Israel for both Jews and are Arabs.”
Earlier on Thursday, the Regavim movement, which is dedicated to monitoring and taking legal action against construction without permits conducted by Arabs and Bedouins on state land, submitted a petition to the Israeli Supreme Court against the Defense Ministry and the Civil Administration for neglecting for a decade to demolish an illegal Arab building which is on state land within the administrative borders of the town of Leshem.
Illegal Arab construction has surged in recent years, particularly during the recent Jewish holiday season, as Regavim noted.
During that time, Palestinian Authority residents were taking advantage of the absence of building inspectors to establish facts on the ground.
Civil Administration forces have destroyed a number of illegal buildings in recent months, many of which had been built with the support of the European Union.
Looks like another of BB’s red herring distractions from the real issue…. looking to get credit for dealing with a lesser problem while distracting folks from the real problem….. like whenBB fights for building in the already annexed jerusalem while no new settlements outside the ghettos…..
the problem is illegal arab and euro bldg in area C, the problem is BB obstruction of Jewish settlement outside the ghetto boundaries of the major blocks, the problem is that BB cannot utter these words without puking:
“JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN YS IS LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE”
Israel needs to trade in the current forgery for a leader like Trump who puts Israel and Jews first. Israel was legally given to settle Jews west of the Jordan river…. everything else is secondary.
If BB had built in E1 as he fraudulently stated he was doing….. then the euros and arabs would not have been able to illegally build there in place of the Jews
euros bldg illegally should be expelled never to be allowed back if diplomats… if not they should be jailed.
I fail to understand what case is the tzeleigert making.
There have been many demolition orders over the years and he and his disgraceful crew intentionally avoided to carry out the law. They courtiers looked the other way as well. Does he want a chupeta to suck on as a prize for talking about doing it now or what?
I will be traveling within a short time to the Shomron and will report if anything has been done.
Bottom line? I expect this being just an Israblof cover for his imminent Pogrom against Amona, nothing else.
Meanwhile I would like to know how come the Shomron village of NOKDIM, where Lieberman and family live, near Tekoa, includes 32% of land that according to reports is property of Arab owners but apparently the… government had no problem “regulating” that.
