Following the announcement by the Prime Minister of an intent to freeze Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, Chairman of the National Union, MK Yaakov Katz, said that Netanyahu may not spit in the faces of those to whom he had promised less than a year ago, that he would constitute construction in Yesha.
In response to the move, Katz called on Likud members to return their membership cards and join forces around a National Union led block of lovers of the Land of Israel.
Due to what he said was “Netanyahu's plan of staged withdrawals from Yesha” he also called on the coalition member parties: the Jewish Home party, Israel Our Home, Shas and United Torah Judaism as well as ministers from the Likud to quit the government.
Katz said he would hold an emergency meeting of all those faithful to the Land of Israel in the Knesset in order to establish a framework to prevent Netanyahu from carrying out his plans.
