Minister Hershkowitz: We are not leftist government, will build in Jerusalem
None
Science and Technology Minister Daniel Hershkowitz said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be praised for insisting on Israel's interests with the US administration. "We are not a leftist government, and construction in Jerusalem is part of the consensus – it is the capital of the people of Israel," Hershkowitz said.
"We do not want to fight with our great friend, but our responsibility is towards the people of Israel. We are an independent state and not an American dependant." (Roni Sofer)
