On video: Violence in the clearing of a vineyard in Binyamin (Honno organization)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke this morning (Wednesday) with Minister Bezalel Smotritz, following the religious Zionism chairman's fury over the evacuation of the plantation in the Shiloh area of Binyamin - this is what Walla learned. According to political sources, Netanyahu made it clear to the religious Zionism chairman that "the powers in the ministry The security will be transferred to you as soon as possible in accordance with the coalition agreements."
Netanyahu clarified that for him "this event is over".
The uprooting of the plantation was stopped near the end, following Netanyahu's intervention following Smotrich's warnings about the integrity of the coalition.
"The uprooting of the vineyard in the Shiloh Valley is an injustice that screams to heaven that could and should have been prevented," Smotrich wrote on Twitter.
"A long-standing injustice of the Civil Administration and the High Court of Justice.
Precisely in order to stop the long-standing persecution and this discriminatory insolence against the settlers, we demanded and received in the coalition agreement the responsibility for the civil administration and civilian life in Judea and Samaria."
A senior Israeli official said that the Prime Minister's Office was informed in advance of the timing of the vineyard's evacuation and did not express any objection.
According to him, Netanyahu's directive to stop the evacuation after it was almost completed was for political purposes to avoid challenging the coalition.

According to Smotrich, "Defense Minister Galant's denial of the unequivocal agreement and the Prime Minister's dragging his feet on the matter are unacceptable and we will not allow them to continue. This is a clause that everyone knew was central to our agreement and the basis for the existence of a coalition is the observance of the coalition agreements. I demand that the Prime Minister pass I have the powers immediately.
If Galant has a problem with this, he is welcome to put the keys.
I am convinced that there are many in Likud who would be happy to fill his place in the Ministry of Defense."
The Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir also joined the criticism: "Today's violent and extreme behavior of the Iosh Police officers under the direction of Minister Galant is further evidence of why the authority over the Police "Q should pass to the authority of the police.
That's why I will demand already at the upcoming government meeting on Sunday to uphold the coalition agreements and transfer the IOSh Police Force from the responsibility of the IDF and Galant to the responsibility of the Israel Police."
