Jerusalem – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says international pressure against construction in West Bank settlements cannot be ignored, indicating that building could be curbed.

Netanyahu spoke to party members in the parliament Monday, after the U.S. vetoed a Palestinian-backed resolution in the U.N. Security Council calling the settlements illegal.
Netanyahu said: “We are trying to maintain existing construction, but we must understand that we are facing a very difficult international reality,” suggesting that new projects might not be approved.
Netanyahu said Israel could continue “banging our heads into the wall, but that’s not how I do things.”
The issue of construction in the settlements led to the collapse of Israel-Palestinian peace talks last year.
Well if there is a construction halt it should be throughout the area including the Arabs which was not in effect before.
Netanyanu, Olmert, Peres, Sharon…minor variations on the same flavor. The world will NEVER respect a Jew who bows down to them. The world will only respect a Jew who stands up for their won rights.
Construction in Yehuda and Shomron are not even remotely illegal, as the land mass in question was never recognized by an international body as having been a sovereign state nor a part of any sovereign state (Jordan) except Israel, because it is still part of the universally accepted Jewish Homeland as delineated by the Balfour Declaration and approved, after the illegal split of Palestine into Jewish Palestine (west of the Jordan River) and Arab Palestine (east of the Jordan River) by the San Remo Conference.
But the absurdity of Ghetto and apologetic Jews ruling Israel and selling it out to world opinion will continue until the day that Shomerie Shabos/Charedi/Frum Jews can put aside our STUPID insignificant differences and figure out how to create achdus.

true but Israel also needs the support military and financial from the USA do not forget that
If he doesn’t have the backbone to stand up for what’s write, he should resign.
Besides, the entire so called “peace process” doesn’t work anyway but even for the dreamers imagining it could work, even they all realize, it’s “dead on arrival” now that every Arab Leader is at the verge of being overthrown so there is no one to talk to anyway.
Peace with Arabs is old and outdated history now, until all the Arab Leaders are finished being overthrown, one by one.
Sounds like someone is listening to obama too much. Natanyahu should tell everyone to go to hell!
