(IsraelNN.com) Kadima Member of Knesset Otniel Schneller called on Kadima party leader Tzipi Livni, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Public Security Minister Avi Dichter on Tuesday to delay the eviction of Jews from Peace House in Hevron until after formation of the next government. Schneller noted that "Eviction without agreement is very serious, and dialogue and understanding are needed."

Referring to the hundreds injured in police violence during the 2006 demolition of nine buildings in the Samarian community of Amona, Schneller said, "With our own hands, we sowed the seeds that resulted in the hilltop youth. We are slowly returning to sanity now, but the issue could, Heaven forbid, re-open the seed of calamity."
