The tenders for Jewish construction announced Sunday by the Ministry of Housing and Construction are only the first drops from “a giant wave” of construction in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, according to Bayit Yehudi MK Nissan Slumiansky. MK Slomiansky, who heads the Knesset’s FinanceCommittee, was quoted by IDF Radio as saying that the tenders are part of a larger deal between his party and the prime minister. “This will, with G-d’s help, be a harbinger of very widespread construction – which is the way things should be,” he said. “There are things that we spoke about, and this is the

The Palestinian Authority (PA) is demanding that Israel cancel its decision to market about 1,200 new housing units in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, even before the next round of “peace talks” scheduled for Wednesday. Voice of Israel public radio quoted an anonymous senior PA official as saying the PA leadership has informed the United States of this decision and is awaiting a response. The official said that if this is the way Israel wants to reach peace, then there is no need for negotiations and “let Netanyahu make peace with [Bayit Yehudi head Naftali] Bennett.”

Deputy Foreign Minister Ze’ev Elkin (Likud) went on the radio Monday to scold Yesh Atid leader and Finance Minister, Yair Lapid, over his criticism of the decision to build 1,200 more homes in the cradle of Jewish national life – Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. MK Elkin told IDF Radio, “Lapid’s reaction is harsher than that of the Americans. After that, people wonder why the world attacks us.”
Its throwing sand in people’s eyes! Netanyahu can move heaven and earth to spring the killers of Jews free from Israeli prisons.
But he is the same man who refuses to sign off on new Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.
Like the Americans like to say, its all about priorities.
I wonder if BY has already learned how to get credit for things that have not happened yet and may never happen? I read that the deal was for 1000 houses. Perhaps the deal is 1000 to be built but 500,000 to be announced for building.
doesn’t private industry build houses in israel? They might not in YS because the future is unstable. Lapid talks of money goign to YS for housing when housing is needed elsewhere but that housing can be satisfied by private industry especially since the left sabotages the future of YS in cessantly. Lapid is no centrist he is another pal butt licking leftist.(i am referring only to left right re YS)
did they release the first 26 killers already? if they did and already the arabs are threatening to leave the table it shows how dumb it all is. Now Israel releases and the pal still finds a way to leave and make it look like Israel did. the dog and pony show is tiresome, I wish a better circus would come to town.
They will never be built. Netanyahu has no intention of building anything! But he is sincere in releasing the convicted murderers of Jews from prison.
Read into it whatever you like.
This is a deal with the devil and is immoral.
Jewish rights and obligations to build in Jerusalem and Y&S should not be contingent or held hostage to to the illegal and immoral act of releasing murderers of Jews from prison. The deleterious effects from their release is a stain on all national values which weaken and diminish us all.
Bayit Yehudi was elected with a single mandate to prevent the creation with Israels approval of a Palis State in Y&S and Gaza. New Housing is a virtuous ideal and need but not at the expense of other values that effect every Israeli today and in the future.
BB has the power to slow or halt the new construction at every phase in the approval and construction process. Until they are built sold and occupied the gesture should be suspect.
Viiit Said:
Why should Jewish sovereignty be purchased with the blood of Jewish children? When do Jews need the permission of Arab Nazis to live and build in their own country? This reported attitude goes on to show that while you can take the Jew out of the Ghetto, its very difficult to take the Ghetto out of the Jew!
As Shy Guy would reiterate: Stupid Jews!
This is idiotic!
Why should Israel have Pal-parasites’ permission for building in our capitol city?
And why such permission should be paid by releasing Islamic-Nazi murderers?
RIDICULOUS!
