Left-wing organization appeals to foreign governments demanding punishment for IDF general

The left-wing organization 'Fighters for Peace' has appealed to foreign governments demanding personal sanctions against Central Command Major General Avi Bluth, following the entry of Jewish families into homes purchased in Jericho. The organization 'Betzalmo' criticized the appeal and called for full backing of the general.

The Israeli left-wing organization 'Fighters for Peace' appealed today (Monday) to foreign governments demanding personal sanctions against Central Command Major General Avi Bluth, following the entry of Jewish families into homes purchased in Jericho. The letter was sent through attorney Itai Mak to the foreign ministers of Britain, Australia, Canada, and the head of foreign policy of the European Union. The organization claims, based on reports in Haaretz and Times of Israel, that Bluth knew about the plan in advance and even spoke with settlement leaders before the entry. In response, the CEO of 'Betzalmo', Shai Glick, condemned the appeal, calling it 'hypocrisy and crossing a moral red line', and called on the government to back the general. The article notes that the entry into the homes occurred on Wednesday of last week, and that the Binyamin Regional Council and the Nahala movement claim the homes are in Area C on state land.
