Israel Matzav: Netanyahu: 'Construction in Jerusalem will continue'

Netanyahu: 'Construction in Jerusalem will continue'

In response to a question from MK Tzipi Hotovely, Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Likud faction on Monday that construction in Jerusalem will continue.

"Construction in Jerusalem will continue in any part of the city as it has during the last 42 years," Netanyahu stressed at the Likud faction meeting.

"In the past 40 years, there was no government that limited construction in any Jerusalem area or neighborhood," Netanyahu said. "Establishing Jewish neighborhoods did not hurt Jerusalem's Arab residents and was not at their expense."

The prime minister said Israel was committed to the 10-month building moratorium in the West Bank.

Is that a line in the sand? Hmmm.
