Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Housing Minister Uri Ariel to reexamine the plan to build thousands of housing units in the West Bank. According to a PMO statement, Netanyahu slammed Ariel for "circulating the plan without coordination."
Netanyahu said any further settlement construction may stir "unnecessary clashes with the international community – at a time when we are making an effort to convince the international community to reach a better agreement with Iran." (Attila Somfalvi)
