Eliyahu Libman, head of the Kiryat Arba municipality, said he was not willing to play with the lives of his town's residents.
Libman alluded to past promises of peace for land and how each time Israel had given in to international demands, its residents had paid a heavy price which would "take generations to fix."
He joined Yesha Council Head Yossi Dagan's campaign against the creation of a de-facto Palestinian State as part of Trump's "Deal of the Century."
