PM associates: Israeli gestures unrelated to J'lem construction policy
Elements close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the State Department statement regarding Israel's commitment not to build in Ramat Shlomo and said Netanyahu has made it clear that construction and planning in Jerusalem would carry and that no commitment on the matter was made.
"The prime minister announced that Ramat Shlomo planning procedures would carry on for at least a year and that construction would actively commence in several years. The prime minister stressed he would be willing to initiate gestures, none of which is relevant to Jerusalem's construction policy," the statement noted. (Attila Somfalvi)
