Netanyahu rejects construction freeze
By Amy Teibel, Associated Press
Transcribed from the clipping
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected President Barack Obama’s demand for a freeze on West Bank Jewish settlement construction, but his government’s move to dismantle some squatter camps set off a rampage by Jewish settlers against Palestinians… Netanyahu said Israel cannot ‘freeze life’ in settlements, according to a participant who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.
Netanyahu was quoted as saying that ‘there are reasonable requests and unreasonable requests.’ Settlers have vowed to retaliate with attacks on Palestinians after removal even the tiniest enclave — a tactic known as ‘price tag.’”
