Byggstopp?

PM Netanyahu väntas ikväll meddela att regeringen beslutit om ett 10- månaders byggstopp i bosättningarna i Samarien och Judéen.
Byggstoppet gäller inte Jerusalem.
Redan innan belutet tillkännagetts har palestinierna avvisat beslutet som otillräckligt.
PM set to announce 10-month settlement freeze at 7.30 p.m
"Netanyahu will ask the security cabinet to approve a ten-month suspension of new residential construction permits and new residential construction starts in Judea and Samaria."
"This is neither simple nor easy, but it has many more advantages than disadvantages," he continued. "It allows us to place a simple fact before the world: The government of Israel wants to enter into negotiations with the Palestinians, is taking practical steps in order to do so and is very serious in its intentions to promote peace."

"Palestinian officials already rejected the anticipated offer even before it was made public.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Wednesday any freeze that did not include east Jerusalem would be unacceptable. "
