Members of the Knesset Land of Israel Caucus traveled to the Judean Desert on Thursday for a tour of an illegal Palestinian city that critics say seeks to cut off Gush Etzion from the Dead Sea.
Last month, the Gush Etzion Regional Council, which administers the bloc of Jewish communities south of Israel’s capital, launched a public relations campaign against the Palestinian Authority’s attempt to build in the area, which the council says violates agreements signed between Israel and the PLO.
