Defense Minister Ehud Barak (Labor) is blocking the housing project for Jewish refugees from Gush Katif in the city of Ariel. The families are still living in mobile homes four years after their expulsion from their community of Netzarim.
According to Itzik Vazana, a member of the Netzarim group, all of the government agencies have given their approval for their housing project in Ariel, but Ehud Barak refuses to approve it.
