The Popular Committee and Local Council of Mughar Al-Arab have condemned Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's decision to hold a political meeting in the "Al-Rous" area of the town on the following day. They view the meeting's location and timing, coinciding with recent attempts to establish a settlement outpost there, as an effort to impose a new reality on the town's lands.

The statement asserted that the residents of Mughar Al-Arab will not be drawn into what they described as provocations. They pledged to continue resisting any infringement on the town's lands and residents' rights through peaceful and organized popular and legal action.
The Popular Committee and Local Council emphasized their commitment to defending Mughar Al-Arab's lands and reiterated their rejection of "imposing any new reality" upon them. They called for unified popular and legal efforts to confront these movements.
