"Not on our watch!": The political system is in turmoil following the publication in Israel Hayom on Friday morning according to which the head of the Central Command, Yehuda Pex, recently cut forces to secure enforcement actions against illegal Palestinian construction in Judea and Samaria.
MK Zvi Sukkot of the Otzma Yehudit party wrote: "Those who were supposed to take to the streets to fight for democracy are right-wing voters. The AB of democracy is the implementation of the decisions of the political echelon, which is the only one elected by the people and only it dictates policy. It is inconceivable that there will be where and where in enforcement between Jews and Palestinians. Not on our watch!!"
Those who were supposed to take to the streets to fight for democracy were right-wing voters.
The AB of democracy is the implementation of the decisions of the political echelon, which is the only one elected by the people and only it dictates policy.
It is inconceivable that there will be where and where in enforcement between Jews and Palestinians.

MK Limor Sun Har Melech of Otzma Yehudit wrote: "If there are those who thought that if we allow the OC to do justice for himself and sign the repeal of the Disengagement Law only on Homesh, and ignore the Knesset decision that canceled the disengagement in all of northern Samaria, he will belatedly discover that the OC will take additional powers for himself and decide which of the government's decisions."
If anyone thought that if we allowed the OC to do justice for himself and sign the repeal of the Disengagement Law only on Homesh, and ignore the Knesset decision that canceled the disengagement in all of northern Samaria, he would belatedly discover that the OC would take additional powers for himself and decide which of the government's decisions> https://t.co/Kt0dVvS4jl

The heads of the Israel Caucus MK Yuli Edelstein, MK Limor Son Har Melech and MK Simcha Rotman jointly responded to the publication: "Selective enforcement is a crime. The reality in which the OC always quickly and easily finds great forces to demolish every kind or fence of the Jewish public in Judea and Samaria, but prevents and hinders enforcement against the tens of thousands of illegal Arab structures in Judea and Samaria, is unacceptable.

"Only about a month ago, members of the lobby toured Judea and Samaria and witnessed Salam Fayyad's Arab takeover plan proceeding unhindered and in grave violation of the law. We demand that the defense minister act immediately and allow enforcement against illegal Arab construction immediately."
MK Kati Shitrit Mehlicho wrote: "Lately, we have been talking quite a bit about selective enforcement, and today we encounter this outrageous story. I have great respect for General Fuchs, and I assume that he also knows that the Palestinian takeover of Area C is a dangerous and planned move, because they create buffer zones and take over strategic places unhindered. Illegal Palestinian construction must stop!"
Lately, we have been talking quite a bit about selective enforcement, and today we come across this outrageous story.
I greatly appreciate Maj. Gen. Fuchs, and I assume that he also knows that the Palestinian takeover of Area C is a dangerous and planned move, because they create buffer zones and take over strategic places unhindered.
The unbelievable construction... https://t.co/m6XRTB0apW

Likud MK Dan Illouz wrote after the publication: "The illegal construction of Judea and Samaria Arabs is rampant. You can see this clearly on the ground. It is the political echelon that sets a strategic agenda, while the military echelon determines the operation. This is the method and this is how things must be conducted, otherwise anarchy will result. Let's say in a language you understand: the general is acting with extreme improbability."
