The Young Settlement Forum responded to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense's announcement that they would discuss regulating the young settlements.
They said that this was a "first step in the right direction, but it is not enough. We demand that the Prime Minister and the ministers not be content with a discussion in the government, but that they vote and approve the decision-makers' proposal to regulate the young localities in Judea and Samaria, which was formulated and agreed between Ministers Hanegbi and Bittn and is acceptable to the Civil Administration and legal advisers."
