A senior figure in the settlement movement, speaking anonymously to Israel Hayom, sharply criticizes the events in the village of Qusra in Samaria, where a group of hilltop youth set up tents near Palestinian homes. The figure calls the siege 'absurd' and harmful to the entire settlement, and warns of damage to development momentum in Judea and Samaria. He describes fear among settlement figures to speak publicly against the violence, due to fear of a personal campaign, and notes that the police are struggling to act.
