Left-wing group pans PM for okaying 500 E. Jerusalem units
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli NGO Ir Amim derides Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for caving in to right-wing, “pro-settlement” pressure after he approves the construction of 500 housing units in Jewish East Jerusalem neighborhoods.
“Netanyahu once again broke under the combined pressure of the settlement right and construction criminals in [the West Bank] to promote building in East Jerusalem, which goes against Israel’s interests and … the international community,” a statement by the group reads.
The group accuses Netanyahu of disenfranchising the majority of Israel’s citizens and turning a blind eye to political realities in the Middle East.
