Israel on Thursday moved swiftly to sell 2,086 of the settler homes whose authorization Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had announced just one day earlier, as security forces demolished the West Bank outpost of Amona.
“There is no day more symbolic for a boom in construction in Judea and Samaria that the day when Amona is evacuated,” said Construction Minister Yoav Galant (Kulanu). He noted that the state is simply making compensation for the High Court of Justice’s order to demolish the community of 40 families.
