Yesha Council betrays Migron outpost, agrees to evacuation

The Council reached the best possible deal: the 45 Migron families will stay until their new houses are built in the neighboring settlement, which would take years. Also, the outpost is effectively exchanged for unfreezing the settlement’s construction.
Yesha decision, however, is wrong. The outposts are not about grabbing a few extra acres but a political statement: there are Jews here who disagree with defeatist policies and are ready to oppose the treacherous government. The outpost pioneers would have little problem building illegally inside the approved settlement; the outpost marks their desire to stake Jewish land elsewhere.
Yesha Council has to be moderate as it depends on the government for municipal funding just as any other Israeli town.
