Labor leader Yitzhak Herzog has vowed to shut down the World Zionist Organization's Settlement Division, which functions as an operational arm of the government to build and establish communities and infrastructures in Judea and Samaria - leaving hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the region without governmental representation.
"As Prime Minister I will close the Settlement Division and open it later to serve the Negev and the Galilee," Herzog stated during an interview on "Meet the Press" Saturday night. "We see again and again the same group takes over the interests of the state and Netanyahu gave in to it."
Herzog also fired against the Likud Knesset list, calling it "appalling."
"If we examine what is offered in top ten most Likud members, we see nightmares and horror," Herzog said. "These are people who promoted legislation that goes against the basic democratic structure of Israel, against the judiciary, against Israel's political interests."
389,250 Jews now live in Judea-Samaria, up over 15,000 people since 2013 - all of whom would be left without active government representation in the event Herzog carries out his threat.
An additional 375,000 live in neighborhoods of Jerusalem over the 1949 Armistice line, such as the French Hill, Sanhedria, the Mount of Olives, and Mount Scopus.

"We see again and again the same group takes over the interests of the state and Netanyahu gave in to it."Gosh, it's almost as if there's an election campaign going on in Israel. /s "The same group" has the same interests as the state, since Zionism is the foundation stone of the existence of the modern state. If the state abandons that, it'll be time for a new state -- a "Palestinian" one. Good luck with that.
This is Chaim Herzog’s grandson, is it not?
No idea.
he is the son of General Chiam Herzog.
The problem may be that he (boy) was educated at Cornell and....NYU.
(before finishing his education in Israel)
a product of the same wonderful NYU where O supposedly attended????
seems so....
Not quite. It took the second debate, where Reagan addressed the age issue with “I do not believe my opponents youth and relative inexperience in any way make him unfit to hold the office of President”. That’s where it was all over.
