1. Excellent news!!
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.16.14)
2. Well, of course!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.16.14)
By 2019, Judea and Samaria will have been fully and formally annexed, and the "Palestinians" will either have been repatriated to Jordan or trying to avoid falling off tall buildings in Gaza. Fortunately -- not our problem.
3. B"H, great news!
Yoch ,   Gush Etzion, ISRAEL   (05.16.14)
4. Uri Ariel
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (05.16.14)
Biggest mistake Yesh Atid made allowing him to be housing minister, all he does is pour millions that the poor and needy deserve into the West Bank, disgusting. An evil and despicable person, hell bent on destroying the State of Israel!
5. Well of course,,,,,,,
Clem Dunkins ,   Mobile,Ala.biblebelt   (05.16.14)
And you and yours will be lying under the rubble of "The Great Earthquake of Israel. Idiots building "Death Traps",,,, so much for this Gog and Magog(FULLNESS of the GENTILES) biblical "Prophetic Nation", and "well of course" you sarah b. will probably be in N.Y. still talking sh-t. 2019? Time will tell and prophecy will manifest.
6. Settlement building is belief Pals don't want peace
Sam ,   Canada   (05.16.14)
Most Israelis still want peace. If they believed Palestinians wanted it they would restrain settlement building as they have done before. The Palestinians want a freeze to keep Jews out not for peace. So, settlements give Palestinians a propaganda point with the West but Israelis are not buying into it.
7. Demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.16.14)
No more games. No more B.S. This tiny land is ours. Demand UNLIMITED Jewish building in Judea and Samaria NOW! Build baby build.
8. the end of the Jewish State
sharon ,   israel   (05.16.14)
Thank you, Uri Ariel and your friends, for ending the State of Israel. You and your kind are a disaster for the country.
9. This is a Zionist Housing Minister, not rightist
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.16.14)
10. Israel can have its cake and eat it too
ace ,   israel   (05.16.14)
Demographic projections shows the Jewish birthrate (going up in all sectors, not only haredi) overtaking the Arab birthrate (dropping on both sides of 67 Israel). Israel will very soon be able to annex Judea and Samaria and remain a Jewish and democratic country. Build on !!
11. Great News Keep up the good work
Nachman   (05.16.14)
Israel Including West Bank. , Yerushalaim and Schchem is part of Biblical Land give to us by Almighty G-D. Palestinians never existed time to send them back to Jordon and Egypt. Keep on building in Yerushalaim and West Bank.
12. that is a good start....
les ,   canada   (05.16.14)

17. Leftist ynet
Leon   (05.16.14)
Ynet is leftist, anyone who doesn't tow their line is "rightist".
18. Area C settlements, ethnic cleansing, will continue until
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.16.14)
...Israel is forced to accept Obama UNSC '67 borders, with NATO security. Resulting in a new starting point for negotiations, 2 States, 1 Country, or both, Palestine Israel, a Federal and States system, much like the United States. Step 2 will be right of return, war reparations for stealing 93% of 8,000 sq mi of Palestine, worth $Trillions. Jews owned only 7% of Palestine in 1947. The Arab-Israeli conflict will never end, it will move into the political arena. Like the American Civil War never really ended, with political divisions between North and South, Democrat and Republican, to this day. 9 not mine.
19. # 8 I don't think so.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.16.14)

22. 18 You confirm what Jews believe.Pals want to destroy Israel
Sam ,   Canada   (05.16.14)
Obama said he wouldn't (and couldn't) impose peace The two parties have to agree to it. So, dream on. You confirm what Jews believe that Palestinians want to destroy Israel in 2 steps. So, don't expect too much from Israel.
23. 22, Indyk... Palestine "will get their state in the end"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.16.14)
"The Americans warned"... "They will get their state in the end — whether through violence or by turning to international organizations.” -Ynetnews, 05.02.14
24. Clem # 5
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.17.14)
If you would pay more attention to your Bible you wouldn't talk that way to Sarah B.
25. 23 US just trying to frighten Israel into giving Pals state
Sam ,   Canada   (05.17.14)
Nothing new here. The US would like Israel to hand Palestinians a state because it wants to appease Arabs and other Muslims. So, it frightens Israel by talking about a bi-national state or apartheid state or whatever but it is not going to impose a Palestinian state. Besides, the US also supports a Jewish state which Palestinians reject. Israel controls the territory not the US or UN and there will be no Palestinian state without going through Israel and its approval. What Palestinians may have is a make believe state on paper with no real territory.
26. most comments here
rm ,   amsterdam NL   (05.17.14)
are not very ....clever...build baby build? Really? Grow up. Sure you got the power to do as you please in the Westbank...but just because you can doesn't necesarilly mean you should.
27. 1.6 millions arabs in Judea , not 2.5
trump ,   eurabia   (05.17.14)
Thanks to rectify ,2.5 has been debunked several times by serious demographers
28. # 25 Sam, very true
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.17.14)
But, as you point out, the US cannot impose its will on Israel nor can the fictitious pals or, any one for that matter. What may possibly be the solution will be Israeli Annexation of all the disputed areas and Repatriation of the pals to Jordan. It isn't up to any one but the state of Israel to guarantee the safety of her citizens and this is exactly what was done to the Jews. Knowing Israel, she'll be far more lenient, merciful, and just by allowing the pals to sell what they have before leaving and to leave in peace which, sadly cannot be said of the vicious, blood thirsty arabs and their treatment of their own Jews. BUILDING ISRAEL G-DS ONLY CHOSEN COUNTRY!!!
29. What about affordable housing for those in the center
Nancy   (05.18.14)
His Royal holiness ignores the hard working, tax paying , IDF serving young couples who unlike his flock of brainless sheep, work for a living. He is a disgrace and should resign immediately.
30. LANDSWAPS MORE EXTENSIVE
zechariah   (05.19.14)
THE land swaps will need to be more extensive not dramatic but more roomy to balance the need.ITS AN IDENTIFICATION WITH SOIL AND A secure LIFE NOT NECESSARILY THEORIGINAL BIRTHPLACE
