Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "The Bennett-Ra'am government today broke another anti-Zionist and anti-democratic record! Today it approved the Ra'am electricity law for connecting tens of thousands of illegal buildings to electricity.
In doing so, it prepares the Islamic Movement for the Negev And the Galilee and fulfills a central pillar in the Palestinian plan for the realization of the "right of return."
Religious Zionism on the passage of the Electricity Law in the Knesset Plenum:
A sad day for the State of Israel. They despaired of Zionism. They transfer everything that is important and precious to us to the control of the Islamic movement.
Never resilience, we will return again. We in religious Zionism and in the entire national camp promise with the help of the name to return and correct. To get the State of Israel back on track. Raise the flag of Zionism again. To build and be built in the young and old settlement in the Galilee in the Negev and in Judea and Samaria.
Even if they forgot and abandoned, We will be rebuilt. Even if my land is on fire, especially when our land is on fire we say in a clear and proud voice - we have no other country. Zionism will win.
Yesha Council's response to the passage of the Electricity Law in the Knesset Plenum:
"The righteous and evil to him, evil and good to him. The twenty thousand Israeli residents in Judea and Samaria who have no electricity infrastructure, the state ignored. For years we have been demanding their regulation, but today the Knesset chose to approve those who stole thousands of dunams in the Negev and Galilee.
Government of Israel, our residents are not type B! Today you could have corrected this injustice, but you disappointed. We demand that the Zionist representatives come to their senses and remember who voted for you and what public you represent."
