MK Shlomo Karhi (Likud) criticized the government for cordoning off the town of Homesh in Samaria.
"This government is allowing the scum of the human race to dance on our blood. Within the week of mourning for the late Yehudah Dimentman, and in the week of the fast of the Tenth of Tevet, they are laying siege to a Jewish town. A proud Jewish government should work to establish a Yeshiva in that town in spite of what anyone thinks. I will visit Homesh tonight to break through the siege and encourage the students," he wrote.
