The heads of the Land of Israel lobby in the Knesset, MKs Yoav Kish and Orit Strook, have responded to reports that the government intends to evacuate the illegal outpost of Khan al-Akhmar and reestablish it on state-owned lands.
"This is a fake evacuation with far-reaching and dangerous implications. The damage caused by legalizing Khan al-Akhmar will be immense - the real significance of such a move is that the State of Israel is giving its stamp of approval to a Palestinian takeover of strategic locations. Khan al-Akhmar must be evacuated as the courts have determined and not established by our own hands to form a Palestinian outpost in the heart of Maale Adumim.
"We call on all those to whom the Land of Israel is precious to prevent this evil being done."
