ALBAWABA- Yoel Smotrich, the Israeli Minister of Finance and leader of the extremist National Religious Party–Religious Zionism, has strongly criticized the Biden administration's alleged cooperation with what he terms as the "settler violence" campaign.
Smotrich, a former Knesset member for Yamina, dismissed these claims as anti-Semitic lies propagated by Israel's adversaries.
He vowed to unabashedly work towards strengthening Jewish settlements across Israel, even in the face of potential American sanctions.
Smotrich emphasized that lasting peace can only be achieved when Arab aspirations for establishing an Arab state on the ruins of the Jewish state dissipate.
Additionally, he condemned the Biden administration for purportedly aligning with accusations of settler violence, arguing that such claims ignore the sacrifices made by Israelis, particularly during the recent Gaza conflict.
