Yesha Council Chairman David Elhayeni criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu during a rally in support of the hunger strikers for young settlements.
'' And you inherited the land and dwelt in it. There are those who have forgotten the mitzvah and forgotten young settlements, which is both insensitive and unacceptable. The prime minister and his ministers have a national responsibility to legitimize them and they do not. No one in the prime minister's office cares that there are hunger strikers here," Elhayani accused. "The PM must legitimize these settlements, with no excuses. Let's say to Netanyahu: Give and take, or don't give and don't take. We are determined to settle the land and we will reach a million settlers, "added the chairman of the Yesha Council.
