Deputy Minister of Economy Yair Golan (Meretz) said that the community of Eviatar would not be established.

"We can't let Eviatar be established, period," Golan told Ynet.

"We entered this government while swallowing a frog the size of a mammoth because it was decided that there would be an active yeshiva there. Now to go for another move to establish a settlement there - that cannot happen, and this issue should be clear to anyone who wants this government to continue ."
