Bezalel Smotrich: "There are 2 million Nazis in Judea and Samaria who hate us"

In the budget that’s being approved today, there is no funding for new construction in Judea and Samaria [the biblical term for the West Bank], there is funding for security needs.  [among them checkpoints and civilian security squads and the weapons and equipment those teams would need] 

There are 2 million Nazis in Judea and Samaria, who hate us exactly as do the Nazis of Hamas-ISIS in Gaza.

Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister of Israel, "Smotrich defends boost in funds for settlers, saying they're used for security against 'Nazi' Palestinians," The Times of Israel, November 27, 2023

(Smotrich tells The Times of Israel that the budget update being sent for cabinet approval today includes NIS 390 million for beefing up security and security infrastructure in the West Bank.)
