Netanyahu allocates NIS 800 million for West Bank infrastructure

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells settler leaders that his government will allocate NIS 800 million ($228 million) for West Bank infrastructure development projects in 2018.

The announcement comes after Netanyahu and his chief of staff Yoav Horowitz met with leaders from West Bank settlements in Jerusalem this afternoon.

A statement from the Yesha Council praises the prime minister for the budget allocation, saying the move sends “an important message” to Israeli settlers, that Netanyahu’s government “sees Judea and Samaria as an inseparable part of the State of Israel.”
