MK Nachman Shai of Kadima has called for the Knesset to hold an urgent discussion regarding soldiers in the Kfir Brigade who held signs during their swearing-in ceremony announcing that they would not force Jews from the northern Samaria community of Homesh.

"The soldiers have issued a challenge... They have determined that when the time comes, they will be the ones to decide which orders to fulfill,” Shai said. "In a democratic country, the army must not allow soldiers to take such a position.”
