In a Statement on Twitter Minister and Mayoral candidate for Jerusalem Zeev Elkin claimed that he is the only one for building in West Jerusalem.
In the post on Twitter, Zeev Elkin wrote:
"I'm on a panel of candidates for the mayor of the city for the protection of nature. We were asked whether we are for or against construction in the west of the city. There is a strong disagreement between us: Berkowitz and Leon are against construction in the west of the city, I am unequivocally in favor of building even in the West while strictly preparing plans to minimize environmental damages. Otherwise, there will be no affordable housing for the affordable young people."
