Peretz orders IDF to speed evacuation of illegal West Bank outposts

By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent

Defense Minister Amir Peretz on Thursday ordered senior Israel Defense Forces officials to speed up the evacuation of illegal settlement outposts from the West Bank.

The order to immediate evacuate illegal structures was given during a meeting Peretz convened with senior officials from the Defense Ministry, the IDF and the coordinator for government activities in the territories.

Peretz asked the IDF to provide him with operational plans for the evacuation of a number of outposts.

In mid-September, Peretz initially ordered the IDF to renew preparations to raze structures built illegally in settlements in the West Bank.

Peretz has rejected some senior officers' recommendations to freeze the demolition efforts.

The minister said there were plans to demolish 90 buildings built illegally, the majority of which were built by Israelis, and the rest by Palestinians.

The buildings in question are mostly caravans, as well as the foundations for a few permanent structures.

Some of the senior officers had voiced their concern that the situation in the West Bank was volatile and the demolition could only make things worse, and thus urged Peretz to hold off on razing the houses.
