The Yesha Council of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria has welcomed the approval of 1,936 housing units by the Supreme Planning Council of the Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria.
Responding to Peace Now's criticism of the approval, the council said, "The time has come for extremist leftist organizations to accept that the United States has also declared that settling in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley is not contrary to international law and that applying Israeli sovereignty is a consensus in the State of Israel."
