Peace Now: “This government has once again issued large numbers of tenders, nearly 1900 housing units, these actions are creating hard facts on the ground during this crucial period of the negotiations process. These actions are an indication that this government is not serious about the process, in fact they are fooling the Israeli public, the Palestinian leadership, the US Secretary of State and the international community.
