'Netanyahu Will Not Stop West Bank Building For Continuation Of Peace Talks'

[Purveyor]

The right wing MKs in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's coalition are concerned over rumors that Israel will be asked to freeze settlement construction in the West Bank as part of the continued peace talks with the Palestinians. But Coalition chairman Yariv Levin (Likud) said Friday, that he did not think Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would impose such a building freeze.

In the wake of a report that US of Secretary of State John Kerry's framework proposal for the continuation of peace talks with the Palestinians calls for a freeze, Levin was one of 21 MKs from the Land of Israel caucus in the Knesset who signed a letter to Netanyahu stating the position that any cessation of building in Israel would be unacceptable.

Levin told Israel Radio on Friday that the letter was meant to "strengthen the prime minister's policy."

The coalition chairman said that there was a "solid bloc of MKs in the Knesset that were determined to preserve the settlement enterprise." He added that only when it is clear to the whole world that Israel is not prepared to give up settlements will it be possible to reach a peace deal.
