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. …

Kerry sought to evacuate the entire Golan Heights and turn it into a Syrian-controlled nature reserve
Good grief he was an idiot.
John Kerry is a putz.
Kerry is a traitorous person.
John Kerry is NOT a good person.
How any Jewish person who loves Israel could ever vote for a Democrat (like Lurch) defies all logic.
Malicious. Not an idiot. The guy is flat our malicious.
Of course he did. That would let his buddies put artillery and rockets up there to shell Israel (again).
I would NEVER give up ground taken at the price of our young mens’ lives.
Neither will Israel.
Kerry’s a traitorous POS now, and always has been.
I doubt Kerry made this up. It smells like it came out of an Obama.
That reveals the premise of Rush Limbaugh’s stance against negotiating with the enemy. (in his estimation, the Democrats)
If you have a good policy, you can’t destroy it in the interest of comity, or bipartisanship.
And here, it’s crystal clear why you can’t always compromise.
Inferring you can is a Leftist ploy.
Another thing about Horse face Kerry, he designated a convicted child molester his daughter’s godfather. Peter Yarrow, of Peter Paul and Mary fame once got a 13 yr old girl sh!tfaced and high on pot then seduced her to, shall we say, puff on his “magic dragon”. He pled to taking indecent liberties with a minor and got a slap on the wrist. He was ultimately pardoned by none other than Jimmah Carter. Hey even folk singers can be too big to fail. It’s a minor point, no pun intended, but what does this say about Kerry’s incompetence as Sec of State, especially when it came to Israel and BenGahzi?
Few people are dumber than John Kerry. No one is as smart as he thinks he is.
——John Kerry sought to evacuate the entire Golan Heights and turn it into a Syrian-controlled nature reserve.-——
LOL...
I guess I must be a moron on diplomacy....
So the state dept of the US government can ask a sovereign country to simply gave up one of the most strategic pieces of land Israel has....?
Sort of like asking the US to give Russia Alaska to turn it into a nature reserve
Arrogant beyond the pale by the Obama administration
“Good grief he was an idiot.”
Needs repeating.
What a f***ing idiot! Have we survived these eight years of idiocy and downright treason that was the obozo administration? President Trump still has a heckuva lot of work to do. North Korea, the Middle East, China, harm to the military, hell harm to just about every government institution. It's a long list.
I dread the rising serpent head of Romney in Utah. Always looking for a spot light for his RINO DISINTEREST in anything voluntary, but pushing the big government boot on the necks of Americans.
Do Mormons even care about Israel, or are they polite supporters of Hezbollah and socialism for everyone?
Romney defines every curse on a Republic.
Why wouldn’t he? Of course, that’s not to say Obama didn’t think of it, but certainly such a thing would be in Kerry’s head notwithstanding.
Remember, this is the guy who said “Inshallah” (Allah willing) when asked by a reporter if there was a deal with Iran.
How did we get from Kerry to Romney?
Ya, the Syrian part is stunning. They would ‘preserve’ it with pill boxes and rocket launchers. Kerry was either naive or plotting against Israel.
