Members of the "National Union" faction, MKs Uri Ariel and Betzalel Smotrich, will not participate in a "coalition bonding" event, in protest of the fact that the Prime Minister refuses to bring for government approval a motion for the establishment of a new community for Amona evictees.

"We cannot celebrate and be happy with the coalition when our brothers and sisters, the residents of Amona, remain in squalid conditions and the Prime Minister does not hold by his promise to establish a new community for them," they said.
