Breaking: Cabinet approves Judea and Samaria 'building freeze'
The Netanyahu - Livni government (soon to be?) has approved a 10-month building freeze in Judea and Samaria 11-1. The only minister to vote against the freeze was Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beiteinu). The ministers of the Shas party, whose leader says "we cannot agree to freeze construction even for one day," absented themselves from the meeting without explanation.The head of the Samaria Council has called on Netanyahu to resign:
Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Gershon Mesika, said in response to the freeze on construction in Judea and Samaria that "Netanyahu deceived Israeli voters and must resign."
"I'm ashamed that the Likud chairman has supported a policy that stands in direct contradiction of the platform under which he was elected. He is thereby choking the settlement enterprise in a way even the most extreme left-wing governments have not done," he added.
No one should be surprised by this freeze. We all saw it coming.
