Jerusalem deputy mayor: Building debate postponed ‘for political reasons’
After Jerusalem City Hall said its building and planning committee meetings were postponed due to “technical reasons,” deputy mayor and building and planning committee chair Meir Turgeman tells Israel Radio that he decided to put off the debate about construction over the Green Line “for political reasons.”
Turgeman says he postponed it so that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “won’t fail in his mission to the United States,” the radio station reports. Netanyahu is set to meet with US President Barack Obama today.
