Judea and Samaria council: We will build with or without gov't approval
By JPOST.COM STAFF

The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria said Thursday evening that the government's decision to delay construction in West Bank settlements for a period of ten months, announced by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Wednesday was "illegitimate," Israel Radio reported. "We will continue to build with or without the government's cooperation," the station quoted the council as saying.

I hope they follow through with their declarations. Bibi is taking immense pressure from the international community, so it would be good for the local folks to buck the outsiders and carry on with the building. There are concerns that this could spill into a "civil" war among the Jews which is the last thing they need right now with Iran on the front burner. I really wish Israel would go ahead and deal with Iran. It's crystal clear they are not going to stop their nuclear program short of a military strike.

This is a very interesting statement they made.
