Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will reject US President Barack Obama’s request for a freeze on natural growth in Judea and Samaria,Habayit Hayehudi head Daniel Herschkowitz said Sunday,based on conversations with Netanyahu.
In an interview with the science and technology minister at his Jerusalem office,Herschkowitz told The Jerusalem Post that he did not believe Netanyahu would cross any red lines of Habayit Hayehudi,the most right-wing party in his coalition.
"From my own talks with the prime minister,I can say confidently that I don’t think he will freeze natural growth in the settlements,"Herschkowitz said. "I am sure he is in favor of allowing natural growth,but he must navigate smartly and walk between the rain drops to ensure that he will get along with the American administration."
Herschkowitz suggested that an arrangement could be found that could allow construction in the settlements to continue without public acknowledgment.
