Israel promised the US Administration that it would tear down the "illegal outposts" in Judea and Samaria, Deputy Prime Minister Chaim Ramon told Channel 2 Sunday. "We promised the USA that we would vacate the illegal outposts that were built after March 2001," he said.
Ramon said that Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was right when she said, in Sunday's meeting of the Committee on Outposts, that the committee has no mandate to decide if and when to tear down outposts.
"The government and the Prime Minister are the ones who should decide the timing for vacating those illegal outposts which everyone agrees are illegal," he said.
