Moked ended its two-day protest against the Gush Emunim encampment at the Kudun army base in the Samarian hills yesterday. Moked leader Meir Payil announced at a rally that a group of 50-odd Moked and Mapam youths who established their own campsite near Kudun Saturday had been withdrawn. They had said earlier that they would not leave until the authorities removed the 30 Gush Emunim families who have been living there since November under army protection.

Payil said the Moked-sponsored “peace college” would shift its activities to the Golan Heights probably within a few weeks when weather conditions improve. He indicated that the fight against the government’s alleged acquiescence to the Gush Emunim’s illegal settlement movement would be continued in the Knesset.
