Mayor Ron Nachman of Ariel said Thursday expressed the outrage he said leaders of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaraifelt over this week's political dialog on diplomatic talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Interviewed by Arutz Sheva, he said he hopes the notion of "building restraint" disappears.

He added, "Prime Minister "Binyamin Netanyahu is executing a targetted killing on us. Even during the administration of [Ehud] Olmert, we got grants of 22 million shekels a year and during Netanyahu, they only come to 15 million. Those who live in the communities despair when they see there's no construction. But it's not just that there's no building. There's a blow at our life. The government lowered all the grants and discounts. Today there are no discounts for kindergartens, there are no incentives, there's no education."
