Peace Now responded to the law regulating young Judea and Samaria communities that passed in preliminary reading.

"This is a law with a black flag on it and every Knesset Member who votes for it endangers Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state. The future of the territories will be determined by the public and not an extreme minority. Illegal outposts must be evacuated, not regulated. It's time to stop whitewashing and rewarding crime and land theft."
