Member of Knesset Michal Rozin (Meretz) has criticized the cabinet's authorization of the Samarian Jewish outpost of Havat Gilad by saying, "An injustice is not remedied by another injustice. The government also knows that the authorization of Havat Gilad will not stop terror. But in a contest for the votes of the right, every vote counts, even if it is exploiting the murderous attack in which Rabbi Raziel Shevach was assassinated. "

MK Rozin added, "The authorization of Havat Gilad is another unilateral step that feeds the cycle of terror we have been living for years."
