Chairman Amir Peretz of the Labor-Gesher Party has criticized Defense Minister Naftali Bennett's decision to approve construction for Jews in the wholesale market area of Hevron.
Asked by Arutz Sheva about construction that Bennett approved, Peretz said, "This is irresponsible conduct. The Ministry of Defense must not become a political tool of anyone. While welfare and health budgets are stuck, the government led by Bennett is finding budgets to plan the addition of housing units in Hevron."
