Members of the Subcommittee on Judea and Samaria of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee were up in arms over the failure of Civil Administration officials to appear at a hearing of the subcommittee Thursday morning. The subcommittee said that next time, it would send out official orders demanding the officials to appear, because of the disrespect shown by the Civil Administration officials.
IDF government policy coordinator in Judea and Samaria Eitan Dangott suggested that subcommittee members "come out into the field" if they wanted to speak to the officials. MK Michael Eitan (National Union), a member of the subcommittee, said that Dangott "was behaving with chutzpah." Eitan also called for Civil Administration official Eitan Broshy, whom he said "allowed himself to punish Samaria Council head Gershon Mesika for tearing up building freeze orders by withholding permits to build a school."
