Bennett meets settler leaders, reportedly tells them he won’t freeze construction
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with a group of settler leaders from the Yesha Council umbrella organization, where they discuss matters related to the development of settlements in the West Bank and the strengthening of local authorities, Hebrew media reports.
They are said to have agreed to continue working together to advance those issues.
One unsourced report says that Bennett told the leaders that he is “committed” to settlements and won’t freeze construction there.
