Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked appears to push back against Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s announcement that the construction of 2,000 homes in Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem will be delayed.
In a statement, the right-wing newly appointed chairwoman of the Yamina party says she “refused to take the plans off the agenda and delayed the entire agenda — which includes housing plans for both Jews and Arabs — by a week.”
“The plans will be discussed, without changes, a week later,” she adds. “I won’t let only Jewish housing plans be harmed on my watch. That’s why I have decided to delay all the plans by only a week.”
