Smotrich Slams Evacuation of Settler Tents Near Majd al-Krum
Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism party, has criticized the Jewish National Fund's (JNF) decision to evacuate settler tents erected near the town of Majd al-Krum. Smotrich stated that "submission to Arab violence and occupation may explode in our faces."
The evacuation order was based on intelligence warnings from the police and the Shin Bet security agency. These warnings indicated intentions for violent escalation and widespread nationalistic unrest in the area, coinciding with the approach of the Jewish High Holidays, including Yom Kippur and Sukkot.
Smotrich's remarks suggest a strong disagreement with the JNF's decision, implying that yielding to perceived Arab threats will lead to negative consequences for Israelis.
