Jewish Home MK: 'Kerry wanted to evacuate the Golan Heights'

MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home) on Wednesday spoke with Arutz Sheva on the issue of construction in Judea and Samaria, the debate over the Supermarket Law and MK Yair Lapid’s threats to turn to the Supreme Court to thwart Knesset legislation.

“Those who travel in Judea and Samaria see that there is construction, maybe not enough construction, but we are building and will continue to build,” Yogev said, adding, “We are releasing construction plans and we will release more construction plans.”

“We concluded eight years of Obama’s construction freeze, which were eight difficult years. The prime minister was required to withstand very difficult pressures, some of which I just recently found out about, such as when John Kerry sought to evacuate the entire Golan Heights and turn it into a Syrian-controlled nature reserve. There was also pressure on Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. Now the pressure is slowly being alleviated,” he continued.

Yogev made clear, however, that the current pace of construction in Judea and Samaria is insufficient. “I am not satisfied with what we are building, definitely not. We are constantly calling for the planning of more construction and the approval of additional building plans,” he said, adding that by the end of January, both the government and the Planning and Building Committee will approve another 3,000 housing units. …

The latter.

I never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.

Chelsea Clinton just wished them a happy new year. And then she had to deny being a Satanist.

Logic seems to rarely enter into the voting habits of a great many people.

Thanks Olog-hai. Sorry, I plastered this into the wrong reply the first time, but better safe than sorry:
