Yossi Dagan, the head of the Samaria Regional Council, has thanked Gush Etzion Council Head Davidi Pearl for the latter's decision to join the protest tent by the Prime Minister's residence.

"This struggle is justified and so it will continue to grow," said Dagan. "It is the people's struggle for national pride and its right to have a state in peace. About its right to build in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. About its right to security in all areas."

He added a call for additional regional heads to join the fight.
