- Daniella Weiss
-
Daniella Weiss (born 1945) is an Israeli activist, and a former mayor of Kedumim, an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank. She was first elected mayor of Kedumim in September 1996 and was re-elected for a second term in November 2001.
Since the 1970s, Weiss has been a notable figure in the Gush Emunim settlement movement, active in the establishment of many new communities in the West Bank. [1]
She was arrested and promptly released in December 2008 in Hebron.[2]
Daniella Weiss rejected the Price tag policy, saying that it had diverted settlers from what she considered to be their most important task - setting up additional caravans and tents to lay claim to ever more hilltops in the West Bank.[3] She stated that the only "price tag" action acceptable to her is the establishment of a new outpost in response to every outpost that had been demolished by Israeli authorities.[4]
