MK Nir Barkat (Likud) toured Gush Etzion today (Thursday) with the head of the Gush Etzion Council, Shlomo Ne'eman, and other regional officals.
"We must increase the number of Jews in Judea and Samaria from 450,000 to 2 million in the next thirty years. The Israeli government is abandoning Judea and Samaria and instead its ministers are meeting Abu Mazen. The government is freezing settlement and has not approved the construction of a single housing unit since its establishment. I will continue to work to strengthen Jewish settlement throughout our country," Barkat said during the tour.
