The IDF has received orders to dismantle the new communities of Ramat Migron and Oz Tzion by the beginning of next week – in preparation for the visit of U.S. President Barack H. Obama. The orders were displayed in an IDF document obtained by Arutz Sheva.

Soldiers were ordered to remove the new communities, termed “outposts” in the media, and to set up extensive patrols to ensure that they are not rebuilt, at least during the time Obama will be in Israel. The communities are in the area of Ramallah, which Obama will be visiting on his visit to Israel. Officials in the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council said that several main roads in the Binyamin area would be closed when Obama went to Ramallah. Obama will be traveling with a convoy of some 40 vehicles, the officials said, and roads could be closed for extended periods. “Road 60 on the way to Ramallah will be turned into a 'sterile' area, with no traffic other than Obama's convoy allowed at all.

Not surprised anymore with anything. Our respective countries’ leaderships have a death wish. They will lie, betray and cheat in order to fulfill this wish. I am disgusted with them all. Bennett got his 15 seats by saying that he would disobey an order to demolish a yishuv. I voted for his party. And now the time comes to put his money where his mouth is, and he doesn’t give a damn.
