Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, at a Judea-Samaria conference: "We must not give any assistance to terrorists, they must pay the price. Regarding the construction in Jerusalem, we have a plan...that is fair for Jews and Muslims, like any city in the world. We need to let residents buy property wherever they desire. I hear there is a [construction] "freeze" in Jerusalem...construction in Jerusalem must not stop for any reason in the world. We need to allow building permits. To allow construction, and not to block the permits or to [only] allow them after an attack."
