Israeli Cabinet Okays 9 West Bank Outposts
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved the legalization of nine outposts in Judea and Samaria in response to a string of recent Palestinian terror attacks in Jerusalem. The policy's backers argue that those seeking to harm Israelis will be deterred upon realizing that such attacks only lead to the strengthening of Israel's presence. The cabinet decision came two days after a Palestinian plowed his car into a bus stop in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot, killing three. Two weeks earlier, a Palestinian man opened fire on Israeli civilians outside of a synagogue in Neve Yaakov, killing seven people.
