Doctor Hagai Ben-Artzi, brother-in-law of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has criticized last week's announcement of restricted construction beyond the 1949 Armistice Line.

Interviewed by Arutz Sheva, the Bar-Ilan University lecturer said building in the hills of Samaria and Hevron, as well as the Jerusalem area is the best way to solve the housing problem of a nation of young families who want to work in the center of the country. He called the announcement of thousands of units a mockery, saying tens of thousands were needed, if not more, and if Netanyahu couldn't bring about massive building, it's time to elect someone who can.
