| And who is going to monitor each construction site if the new building is a school or an apartment building? Leaving a foot through the door will invite recrimination, suspicion and bad faith. If Netanayahu is serious about the establishment of a Palestinian state within a reasonable time frame, the halt to the construction is not such a big deal. The sky will not collapse if there were no new construction for a year or two. What Netanyahu is doing is keeping the door open for new construction under some pretext. We all remember that the first settlements that were ever built in the WB and Gaza were classified as "military settlements" that were later transferred to civilian control. Honesty is not one of Israel`s traits. |
