During a meeting today with Director-General of the Prime Minister’s office Eyal Gabay, a group of Likud Knesset Members demanded to know when settlement building would begin  “The Civil Administration and the Department of Defense are behaving as if there was no change in government recently,” said a member of the group. “It doesn’t matter what agreements you make with the United States, they have been pushing for such things for years.”

The Director-General answered, “The issue is currently on the negotiating table with the Americans. Do you expect the Israeli government to proceed and pretend there are no discussions?”
