Yesha Council Chairman David Elhiani says that Defense Minister Bnei Gantz is deliberately canceling the meeting of the Supreme Planning Council, which was supposed to convene in recent weeks. “Defense ministers under Netanyahu usually sign quickly every step of the way, but Gantz has 11 plans ready for the construction of 1,1717 that he is pushing,” Elhayeni said in an interview with Elisha Ben-Kimon and Oded Shalom, which was published this morning in Yedioth Ahronoth.
Elhayani goes on to refer to Gantz’s breach of the agreements at the time of the formation of the government, saying: “Not only is he blatantly violating the agreement, at the same time he approves for the Palestinians the construction of thousands of housing units in Area C under the government radar. As far as I know, the Prime Minister’s Office was surprised that Ganz was promoting construction plans for the Palestinians. He did not update them. It operates independently in Judea and Samaria. Instead of a policy that has been discussed and decided upon in the Cabinet, it actually implements a private policy. It is the conduct of a kingdom within a kingdom. ‘
