Labor: J'lem building is 'redundant and harmful'

The Labor party responded to the government's decision to build 1,500 housing units in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood: "This is a redundant and harmful decision which damages Israel's standings and moves it farther into isolation. Netanyahu's defiant decision does nothing but perpetuate the stalemate and hurt Israel's legitimate right to build in Jerusalem's Jewish neighborhoods.

"This is yet another Netanyahu-Lieberman provocation, whose real goal is to distract Israeli citizens from the country's real problems." (Moran Azulay)
