Aryeh King, chairman of the Israel Land Fund, said on Friday that he is not surprised by comments attributed to National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror, who was quoted as having said that Israel's building in Judea and Samaria is detrimental.

"He may be wearing a kippah, but the subject of the land of Israel is not really important to him," King told Arutz Sheva. "Yaakov Amidror was never a rightist so it's not surprising."
