Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Monday's meeting of the Likud faction, "Here is a prime minister who has faced very difficult US presidents for 12 years and we built and we built and we built. And we are running it now so that we will get approval of the settlement enterprise because they are now running an aggressive campaign against us over the settlements that we have already built."
Netanyahu concluded, "What you think is simple is a lot more complex but we are navigating with common sense to find the way and when it is found we will also build and we will get the backing of the court. If it is given, excellent, and if not, we shall see, but first I am trying to succeed in earning everything."
