Senior leaders of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria praised a report by Haaretz that Defense Minister Naftali Bennett threatened the Palestinian Authority-run Hevron municipality not to oppose the construction of a new Jewish neighborhood in Hevron.
“Defense Minister Bennett is the first to speak Arabic,” the officials said euphemistically, noting the change in Israeli policy towards threats to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
