The new order, says the Yesha Council, is detrimental to the communities' natural growth.
Pinchas Wallerstein, the long-time Binyamin Regional Council head who has had great success in the past in bringing caravans into the area, is unhappy. "We were always able to get them in," he told Arutz-7's Kobi Sela, "even if it had to be in the middle of the night or via unpaved roads - but this time the Civil Administration is really clamping down." Despite this, two caravans were recently snuck into Shilo and are already connected to water and electricity. Another caravan, designated as a synagogue for a N'vei Tzuf neighborhood, is next on Wallerstein's list.
Dudu Saadah, responsible for construction in the Shomron community of Har Brachah, said that some families there are waiting endlessly to move in to pre-fab homes for which they are already paying mortgages: "All the infrastructures are there, and the homes have all the permits, but the police are still not letting the homes through."
Arutz-7's Sela concluded, "It seems that those who are opposed to growth in Yesha have finally found the way to block even natural growth in these communities - reminiscent of the absolute no-growth policy of the Yitzchak Rabin government."
