Channel 14 reveals that the IDF abandoned plans to demolish illegal structures at the Yehuda Junction following a High Court freeze. The decision was made despite the political echelon, led by the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, and Minister Bezalel Smotrich, ordering immediate demolition after the deadly attack on October 23, in which two IDF soldiers were killed. Following a petition by the Kawasmeh family, judges Yael Wilner, Gila Kanfy-Steinitz, and Yechiel Kasher ordered a freeze on the demolition. Two days after the attack, on October 25, the IDF announced its withdrawal from carrying out the demolition. The report quotes the Religious Zionism party's response, which attacked the High Court's decision, and the IDF Spokesperson's response, stating that enforcement actions continue according to operational priorities.
