Shortly after police moved into position in Beit El on Tuesday morning 12 Menachem Av, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu released a message explaining the cabinet is opposed to the demolition of the homes, adding it support building in yishuvim in the framework of the law.

The PM’s statement added the government is working to find a legal solution that will save the Dreinoff homes in Beit El, which must be razed by the end of July 2015 in compliance with an order from the Supreme Court.
