Preparing for more construction at Ramat Givat Ze’ev
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has decided to end the de facto building freeze in Judea and Samaria and intends to approve thousands of new housing units and roads at a cost of millions of shekels, reported Channel 2 Sunday.
The move is seen as a bid to strengthen the alliance with the nationalist wing of the coalition, and follows a meeting between Netanyahu and Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett, who has threatened to destabilize the coalition if the freeze is not ended.
Ze’ev Hever, a veteran leader of the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria, was also reportedly present at the meeting.
According to the report, Bennett told Netanyahu that it is obvious that neither Tzipi Livni (Hatnua) nor Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) want elections at this time, and that this situation should be exploited for construction in Judea and Samaria.
Since last Wednesday, according to the report, the Prime Minister’s Office has been negotiating with the Yesha Council – an unofficial federation of Judea and Samaria local leadership – to seal the deal. It is to include about 2,000 housing units, mostly inside the so-called “settlement blocs.”
According to Channel 2, 12 new roads will be created, including a road circumventing the Hawara neighborhood south of Shechem, new roads to Emanuel and Eli, and a widening of Highway 60. In addition “students’ villages” are planned, as are new parks and a boardwalk in the Etzion Bloc in memory of murdered yeshiva students Eyal Yifrah, Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Sha’ar.
I’ll believe this crap when I see it. How many times can he pull this scam??
Elections are in the air and BB needs to secure his right-political flank Bennett has made serious inroads and if Kachlon runs BB is in deed dodo. He will do anything and say anything to that end. He wants another term.
deja vu all over again (E1?)

Aaaaaw the poor little darlings….
Not even “the back of the bus” ?
I hope they are allowed just one more entry into a j&s bus.
The one that will dump them at the Allenby bridge, as a first step in disinfecting the land of Israel from the scum.

He worked for BB for 3 years and was his chief of staff and ran his election campaign in 2008. He knows a lot and I’m sure has a file of dirt against BB.
Bennett must have some Israeli political stuff serious enough to cause Netanyahu to defy the Washington assholes. Maybe — just maybe — he knows enough to really smash up the present ruling coalition.
In any case, inasmuch as this Netanyahu is the kind of person who kowtows to blackmail, I would just as soon see the blackmailer be an outstanding no-nonsense fellow such as Bennett. Chances are, the defense minister could prove to be a relatively outstanding prime minister. And, if so, chances are that Netanyahu knows all this and cannot afford to blast his political capital shoving around the defense minister the way he treated Danon.
Chance are also that Netanyahu has been reading the Israeli polls which show that 75% of the country want no part of any Arab state in the middle of Eretz-Yisrael or believes in any serious possibility of a negotiated peace. Especially one meddled with by the present government of the USA. In which case, the Jews of Israel are smarter than their own present government.
