During a raid by MGB officers on Giva Binyamin, the officers were recorded pulling a settler’s whiskers | Ben Gvir: “The harsh scenes during the evacuation are shocking and must not pass in silence”
The MGB officers who arrived this evening (Sunday) at Givat Oz Zion in Benjamin were recorded pulling a settler’s beak during an arrest. The footage caused an uproar and drew reactions from right-wing Knesset members. According to the settlers, the MGB officers raided the Ramat Magron outpost and presented them to families The hill ordered a closed military area imposed by the commander of the IOS division – Brigadier General Avi Belot on the place, while threatening them that “the next time they see them here, they will be arrested.” About half an hour later, the forces raided the nearby Oz Zion hill and arrested two residents who live on the hill.
MK Orit Strock of Religious Zionism responded to the arrest on her Twitter account and wrote: “While Eisenkot speaks in left-wing dialect, and Matan Kahane (“a national religious like you”) listens and gets used to the language of the new boss – Benny Gantz is carrying out an arrest of settlers in Oz Zion today. Their only crime: violating a closed military area order that the security chief issued against their settlement, in order to uproot it.”
In Ramat Magron, they responded: “The Gantz sons gave up their people in the government and decided to fight the settlements with all their might. But these are the dying throes of their anti-Semitic government. It won’t help you, the people of Israel are stronger than all the enemies that have tried to harass them over the generations, and we will continue to cling to this hill for many years to come After the memory of this government will be completely forgotten.”
The chairman of Otzma Yehudit, MK Itamar Ben Gvir responded: “The extreme leftist government of Gantz and Lapid continues the policy of destroying Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. While the leftist government is silent in the face of thousands of illegal buildings being built by the Palestinian Authority, Gantz and Lapid We take care of the Jewish settlement in Yosh whose purpose is to preserve the area.”
MK Ben Gvir added: “The harsh scenes during the evacuation are shocking and must not be passed over in silence, I hope that those who attacked the boys for doing no injustice to them will be brought to justice.”
The police have yet to respond.
