Defense Minister Amir Peretz signed an evacuation order on Wednesday night for 12 illegal outposts in the West Bank.

The orders were originally signed by former defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, but they since expired, and Peretz's decision on Wednesday was to reinstate them.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert also gave his approval for the evacuation orders.
