Member of Knesset Mtanes Shihadeh (Joint List) has attacked Defense Minister Naftali Bennett for approving planning a Jewish neighborhood in Hevron's wholesale market area.
Shihadeh said, "Bennett is planning to establish a new Jewish neighborhood in the Hebron wholesale market with the aim of uprooting Palestinian residents and perpetuating the occupation. It is a decision that violates international law and only empowers and strengthens the apartheid regime."
