An alert by the Regavim movement on Wednesday has led to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) confiscating machinery which was about to be used to expand illegal Arab construction near the Jewish archaeological site of Sussya in the southern Judea Mountains.
Regavim said in a statement that the action sent “a clear message that if you are about to break the law, you will be stopped.”
“The Civil Administration must continue to enforce the law, including court orders on illegal construction,” the statement continued, suggesting that “at the same time our government leaders should not succumb to international pressure and when asked to issue their opinion on matters, they should side with court decisions and uphold the law.”
