National Union Chairman MK Betzalel Smotrich responded to Minister Hanegbi's announcement of a government decision to regulate young Judea/Samaris communities.
"I congratulate Prime Minister Netanyahu on the statement of intent. The test will be in deeds. I sincerely hope that this will not be another declarative and meaningless decision, but a decision that will allow a real regulation, including the awarding of new official settlement logos.
"20,000 residents of the young communities are not second-class citizens and they deserve to be equal citizens. Congratulations to MK Chaim Katz, a partner in this struggle. Tonight we took an important step and will continue with all our might to strengthen all settlement in Judea and Samaria," Smotrich said.
