Knesset votes against legalizing illegal West Bank outposts.

Israel's Knesset on Wednesday voted down a bill that aimed at legalizing homes on the Ulpana Hill neighborhood in the West Bank settlement of Beit El, which were built on privately owned Palestinian land.

In a preliminary reading, 69 Knesset members voted against the bill, while 22 voted for it.

The vote was held a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the government position was to oppose the bill, and threatened that any minister who supported it would be fired.

While discussions continued in the Israeli parliament, hundreds of supporters of the bill demonstrated nearby, blocking off roads in the area. Clashes broke out between the police and the protesters with at least eight of them being arrested. One of those arrested was activist Itamar Ben-Gvir.

So it seems like the Israeli government is not going to back illegal settlements and outposts being built in the West Bank. Oh the settlers will be chomping at the bit. Another day of tug of war in the Knesset as left wing and right wing vie for dominance.
