Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, head of Binyamin Regional Council Yisrael Gantz, and Kiryat Arba council head Eliyahu Liebman explained why they had chosen to boycott a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday.
"We will not compromise on the security of the residents for a picture with the prime minister," the three explained. "In order to strengthen settlement there is a need for real answers and actions on the ground ... We are steadfast and will continue to fight fiercely and impartially in order to bring security to the residents."
