On Monday, the Likud faction discussed a proposal that may retroactively legitimize structures built on Palestinian land in the West Bank.
Ynet has learned that the initiative was reportedly put forth by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ,who suggested a committee be formed to explore the possibility.
Ministers Yuli Edelstein, Moshe Yaalon, Limor Livnat and Gilad Erdan voiced their support of the idea. Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Edelstein added that it would be "grievously wrong" for the government to sanction any such eviction or razing.
Assuming it is highly likely that Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein would object to such a committee, Environmental Protection Minister Erdan suggested that the faction seek legal counsel from a private attorney, to represent the government on the matter.
