Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reports that the Israeli Cabinet unanimously voted Sunday to legalize the Havat Gilad outpost on Sunday, thereby creating a new settlement in central Samaria.
Politicians and Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan called to authorize Havat Gilad (Gilad Farm) in the aftermath of the January 9 terrorist attack, in which outpost resident and father of six Rabbi Raziel Shevach was shot dead by Palestinians as he drove near his home.
