(4 Feb 2018) Israel's prime minister said on Sunday his country will legalise an isolated West Bank outpost in response to the murder of one of its residents.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday that those who try to "break our spirit and weaken us made a grave mistake."
He said his government will legalise Havat Gilad to "allow the continuation of normal life there."
Earlier this month, Havat Gilad resident, Rabbi Raziel Shevah, a 35-year-old father of six, was shot dead from a passing vehicle as he drove near his home in the unauthorized settlement outpost near Nablus.
The community of a few hundred Israelis is located deep inside the West Bank.
The anti-settlement Peace Now group said the effort to legalise it was a "cynical exploitation of the murder."
