Bet El Mayor Shai Alon responded to the EU announcement condemning the Israeli government for deciding to build in Judea and Samaria.

"The EU is the last body that can preach morality to us and tell us where and when to build. After all, it is a body that violates the law every day when it places illegal structures in the Ma'ale Adumim area for the Bedouin population that is illegally located there," said Alon.
