Knesset Speaker
Yuli Edelstein is planning to pre-empt a conference scheduled to take
place in the Knesset this Tuesday that will call for the eviction of the
Jewish settlement in Hebron, by holding a counter-event the previous
day in support of Jewish settlement in Hebron.
The anti-settlement event, organized by MK
Michal Rozin (Meretz) and Joint Arab List Chairman Ayman Odeh and MK Dov
Khenin, was originally scheduled to take place on Nov. 26. The original
invitation referred to "a destructive reality of violence" caused by a
"cruel segregation regime" to accommodate a "handful of settlers."
As speaker, Edelstein authorizes all
conferences held at the Knesset, and postponed the event because Czech
President Milos Zeman was visiting Israel and was due to address the
Knesset plenum the same day.
In deciding to hold a counter-event,
Edelstein said, "It's bizarre to me that certain Knesset members would
dare to question the right of the Jewish people to settle in the land of
their forefathers."
MKs Yoav Kisch (Likud) and Bezalel Smotrich
(Habayit Hayehudi) are helping Edelstein with the event to promote
strengthening settlement in Hebron.
