Vote to Authorize Judea, Samaria Towns Postponed

Voting on a bill to authorize several Judea and Samaria communities has been postponed. The vote was pushed off due to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s refusal to grant ministers freedom to vote their conscience.

The bill would give legal status to Judea and Samaria towns and neighborhoods that were created with the government’s knowledge and consent, but that lack proper town planning documents.
