The Biden administration is opposed to the creation of settler outposts such as Evyatar, whose legalization Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has pledged to advance in exchange for avoiding a violent and forced evacuation of the site.

“I’ll continue to underscore that we believe it’s critical to refrain from any unilateral steps that would exacerbate tensions or undercut efforts to advance equal freedoms, security and prosperity, as well as a negotiated two-state solution,” US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Jalina Porter said. “And this would include establishing outposts which are illegal even under Israeli law.”

Porter’s words highlighted the underlying tension that exists between Bennett’s government and the Biden administration with respect to settlement activity. Past US presidents, save for Donald Trump, have opposed outpost construction and called on Israel to remove them.

Porter spoke in the aftermath of a deal reached Wednesday between settlers and the government for the voluntary evacuation of 53 families and scores of activists from the Evyatar site by Friday at 4 p.m. The outpost was built in May in the aftermath of the Tapuah junction terror attack that claimed the life of 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta.

The deal marks the most significant step Bennett has taken with regard to settlement activity since he was sworn into office last month. It comes in advance of an anticipated visit by Bennett to Washington this summer, possibly this month. The deal stipulates that once the settlers leave, an army base will be placed at the site, overlooking Route 5050 near Tapuah junction. (Read More)
