The Yesha Council said Wednesday that the state needs to take measures to help Jews in Judea and Samaria, not Arabs. Earlier in the day a government committee decided to open the Allenby crossing from Jordan 24 hours a day in order to help Arabs in Judea and Samaria.

“Instead of making gestures to the Arabs, it is time for the government, that was elected by the nationalist camp, to make gestures to the Zionist pioneers in Judea and Samaria,” the council said.
