While the Israeli cabinet voted Wednesday to accept Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s proposal to accept a ten month freeze in Judea and Samaria only three months ago he promised such a freeze would not occur.
While speaking to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, on August 14th, Netanyahu said that there would not be a complete freeze on Jewish building in Yesha. "The Palestinians expect a complete halt to building; it is now clear that this will not happen...Two days ago, we authorized 450 additional units."
