Coalition chairman calls building freeze sin
None
Coalition Chairman Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) called upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to extend the construction moratorium imposed on West Bank settlements.
In a conference in honor of the Jewish New Year held by his fellow party member Knesset Member Sivan Shalom, Elkin said, "We have sinned before you, Father in Heaven, for freezing life and building in Judea and Samaria. I turn to Netanyahu and say: We are by your side. You must tell the world we were chosen to grown, build, and defend the Land of Israel." (Attila Somfalvi)
