New Right party chairman and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett toured the Jordan Valley Monday morning.
While viewing the area from an observation point in the town of Petza'el, Bennett said that there had been an "enormous" amount of illegal Arab construction activity in the area, and that it is Israel's responsibility to demolish the unauthorized buildings.
"There is an enormous amount of illegal Arab construction in Area C all across Judea and Samaria and in the Jordan Valley. It is our obligation to demolish this construction, which is intended to take our land from us."
