MK Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz (Ichud Leumi) said Tuesday that the latest population data from Judea and Samaria shows that Land of Israel activists have won. “Today we mark 7 years since the terrible destruction, since the expulsion from Gush Katif,” he said. “According to the figures in my hands, there are more than 700,000 Jews over the green line – twice as many as in Tel Aviv, 10% of the population of the state of Israel.”
“The people of Israel has succeeded despite the expulsion, despite American pressure, despite the Netanyahu government’s construction freeze,” he declared.
