Knesset Speaker Yuli Yoel Edelstein says that Sunday's cabinet's authorization of the Samarian Jewish outpost of Havat Gilad is "a victory over terror. As they beat us, we will multiply and break out. "
Referring to the murder by terrorists of Havat Gilad resident Raziel Shevach, Edelstein added, "The memory of Rabbi Raziel Shevach, of blessed memory, will leave a hole in our hearts forever, but as I told his family during the Shiva, it will not be in vain. The government of Israel will act to authorize the community and this is what happened. We will continue to act to regulate infrastructure, lighting and security measures throughout Judea and Samaria in order to provide the residents with maximum security."
