Israel Matzav: Netanyahu freezing construction bids in Jerusalem?

Netanyahu freezing construction bids in Jerusalem?

Back in July, I blogged a Haaretz report that claimed that the Netanyahu government had frozen construction in Pisgat Zev, a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem that is outside the 1949 armistice lines. Now, Arutz Sheva reports that the Netanyahu government is freezing construction bids in Har Homa, another Jewish neighborhood that is outside the 1949 armistice lines, as well as in other areas that are in the heart of Jerusalem.

Secretary-General Ze'ev Hever of the Amana movement for housing in Judea and Samarai said Monday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was freezing construction bids in Jerusalem. During a meeting held by the Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home-New National Religious Party) Knesset faction in the Judean Jewish community of Efrat, Zambish said, "Bibi's conduct and terminology are very reminiscent of [former prime minister Ariel] Sharon. Construction bids are being frozen in the heart of Jerusalem, as they are in Har Homa, on orders of the prime minister."

Hever said, "The government does not have to be toppled, but pressure must be applied from within to balance the massive external American pressure."

Wake up everyone, before it's too late!
