JERUSALEM: Thousands of Israelis, including ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government, marched to an evacuated Jewish outpost in the West Bank on Monday in support of settlements viewed as illegal under international law.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right security chief in Netanyahu's cabinet, said at the Israeli demonstration:"Now they understand why I have been pushing for the establishment of a national guard." Many countries view Jewish settlements in the West Bank, captured from Jordan in a 1967 war, as a breach of international law. Israel disputes this and cites biblical and historical connections to the land, as well as security needs.
