Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Ministers Amir Ohana, Yariv Levin, and Betzalel Smotrich spoke with Attorney General Dr. Avichai Mandelblit in an attempt to persuade him to change his opinion and allow the government to vote to normalize Mevo'ot Yericho.
Mandelblit asked the Prime Minister if there was any reason for the urgency of the decision, and Netanyahu replied that the urgency was due to President Trump's upcoming Century Deal and the desire to secure the community's status before the announcement.
