Prof. Daniel Hershkovitz, head of the Jewish Home party and Minister of Science and Technology, paid a visit Wednesday the protest tent in Jerusalem against the freeze of Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria.
"We have no better government, even if the decision on the freeze is difficult and painful,” he told the activists at the tent. “We have reached understandings that are meant to make things easier for the settlers in Judea and Samaria. Some are already implemented on the ground, and some will be felt in the near future,” he said.
The heads of local government in Judea and Samaria said Tuesday that the municipal services in those provinces would go on strike Sunday. The local government heads, meanwhile, are conducting a sit-down strike in the tent opposite the Prime Minister's Residence.
Yesha Council Head Danny Dayan said: “We will continue our nonviolent struggle and we will not veer from our mission to build the land. It is unthinkable that an Arab house can be built and a Jewish one cannot.”
