Chairman of the Religious Zionism party, Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, addressed a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning and demanded an immediate freeze on the uprooting of the vineyard in the Shiloh area.

"I instructed a minister in the Ministry of Defense to cancel the order issued to evacuate the vineyard," he said. "The Minister of Defense grossly violated the coalition agreement and reversed my decision. Violation of agreements will make it very difficult for the government and the coalition to operate properly," wrote Smotrich.
