Israeli Politician Slams UK Sanctions on Settlements, Compares Britain to Nazis
Tzvika Mor, a candidate on the Religious Zionism party list and father of a former captive, sharply criticized the British Foreign Secretary's decision to impose sanctions on settlements in the West Bank. Speaking on Kan News radio on Wednesday, Mor stated that Britain's actions placed them "at least number two after the Nazis" in his estimation. He fully endorsed the Israeli government's policy of expanding settlements, calling it a "fitting Zionist response" that demonstrates resilience against pressure and adherence to justice. Mor asserted that Israelis are merely returning to their own land, referring to the areas as state lands. He drew a parallel to British actions, questioning whether the UK consults with others before building neighborhoods in Liverpool, and concluded that Israelis should act as masters in their own land.
Addressing accusations of violence by Israelis in the West Bank, Mor accused Britain of disproportionate focus on minor incidents, equating it to "Jewish terrorism," while ignoring larger issues. He characterized Britain as "very antisemitic" and recalled historical grievances during the British Mandate period. Mor called for a fundamental policy shift regarding the Oslo Accords, advocating for their annulment and a return to all areas, particularly the largely unoccupied Areas A and B, for Israeli settlement.
When asked about implementing Bezalel Smotrich's "Decision Plan" and its implications for the Palestinian population, Mor stated that Israelis do not need to expel anyone. Instead, he proposed opening immigration gates to encourage Palestinians to leave voluntarily. He suggested that Israel would assume full security control while Palestinians would retain civilian control, framing this as a correction to the "crime of Oslo."
