Israel Matzav: Flip side to 'settlement freeze': No enforcement against illegal Arab building

Flip side to 'settlement freeze': No enforcement against illegal Arab building

There's a flip side to the 'settlement freeze.' The government has ordered that there be no enforcement against illegal Arab building in Judea and Samaria. There aren't enough inspectors.

Dozens of residents from the Binyamin region Jewish community of Psagot marched Tuesday morning to a nearby, illegally built, Arab stadium to protest the danger it poses to the community. Community secretary Noam Sharon said, "It's unthinkable that they come to us to enforce the construction freeze - six times they came to us although there's no illegal building - and in this case they don't do anything."

Different Psagot sources say that in discussions with the Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria, it has been revealed that the lack of enforcement against illegal Arab building is an "order from the top".

If someone has an explanation why Jewish building in Judea and Samaria prejudices the 'final outcome' while Arab building does not, I'm all ears.
