Yesha Council head: 'The government must take advantage of the opportunity'

Yesha Council Secretary General Shilo Adler on Thursday welcomed the government's expected approval this coming Sunday of the normalization of Havat Gilad, urging the government to do the same with 24 other communities in Judea and Samaria that are waiting to be officially recognized by the state.

"This Sunday, the government of Israel will finally recognize Havat Gilad," Adler said in an interview with Arutz Sheva, adding, "This is a historic event in which a community in the land of Israel is recognized. Havat Gilad was established in memory of Gilad Zar, who was murdered there, and there is nothing more symbolic than the fact that the government is finally about to normalize this place."
