Barkat lauds PM: Construction in J'lem of utmost importance
None
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said during a meeting of the city council, "Jerusalem has been under the spot light recently, and therefore I wish to show my support to the prime minister, who guarded Jerusalem during his visit to Washington."
"I want to make clear – even to our good friend the United States – construction in Jerusalem is of utmost importance. There is no freeze in Jerusalem; we will continue to build in the east and the west," Barkat added. (Ronen Medzini)
