netanyahuIsraeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu defended building in West Bank settlements today, as he competed for votes against the pro-settler party Jewish Hope ahead of general elections this week.

“Last night, I met with five U.S. senators, Democrats and Republicans, and I told them that the problem is not building in Ariel and it is not building in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu told the weekly Cabinet meeting, according to an e-mail from his office. “The problem in the Middle East is Iran’s attempt to build nuclear weapons, and the chemical weapons in Syria and the Islamic extremism that is spreading in Africa and threatening to inundate the entire region.”

Netanyahu was to speak today at the funeral of Ron Nachman, the former mayor of the West Bank city of Ariel. The prime minister’s support for building there and other Israeli settlements has been condemned by Palestinians, and criticized by the U.S., European Union and United Nations.

Parties that support Netanyahu remaining in office will win a majority in the Knesset in the Jan. 22 election, according to a poll published Jan. 18 in Yediot Achronot.

The survey projected that the prime minister’s own Likud-Beitenu list, which he formed by combining his Likud party together with foreign minister Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beitenu faction on a single ballot, will garner 32 Knesset seats, 10 fewer than the two parties currently hold.

The Yediot survey also projected the Jewish Home party rising to 12 seats from its current three.

  1. Matzav, how long until you stop writing “West Bank” and “settlers/settlements”? Yehuda and Shomron are the names. Maybe you call write “developments” or some other factual and pareve term?

  2. Alien,

    the EU knows that Iran is the main problem. Their hatred for Jews allows them to throw out their best interests. Its an old story with a looong history.

    Every time France, England or some other European country became Judenrain (70 times in total), their economy went way down. Their hatred is what caused them to look away from their best interests.
