MK Mossi Raz (Meretz) responded to reports that Defense Minister Benny Gantz is willing to connect several of the communities known as "young settlements" to the national electricity grid, in return for connecting a similar number of illegally built Palestinian towns in Area C.

"I support the Defense Minister's stance as long as it only happens after a peace deal is signed with the Palestinians, returning the occupied territories to them," he wrote on Twitter.
