Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he has canceled the Hebron agreements. He announced that the High Planning Council approved on Tuesday night the withdrawal of all planning and construction powers that had been granted to the Hebron municipality.

According to Smotrich, those authorities are now returning to the full responsibility of the State of Israel. The announcement did not include further details on implementation, timing, or any response from the Palestinian side.
