56 MKs to PM: Authorize building for Gush Katif evacuees in Ariel
The Land of Israel Lobby in the Knesset, lead by Knesset Members Zeev Elkin (Likud) and Arieh Eldad (National Union), sent a letter to the prime minister and the defense minister requesting an authorization to deviate from the building freeze in order to promote a building project for Gush Katif evacuees in Ariel.
Fifty-six Knesset members are signed on the letter. The signatories hail from a number of political parties, but perhaps most surprising is support from MK Eitan Cabel (Labor) who explained that care for the evacuees must be concluded as soon as possible. (Amnon Meranda)
