Meretz chair: Itamar construction obstacle to negotiations

Meretz Chairman Zahava Gal-On said in response to a Ynet report on the authorization for construction of 675 housing units in the settlement of Itamar, "Building hundreds of housing units in Itamar, one of the isolated settlements that will be evacuated as part of a future agreement, is pointing a finger at the American government which is trying to start the political process in the area.”

Gal-On added, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leading the public astray and putting obstacles in attempts to renew negotiations." (Atilla Shmolfavi)
