Construction in Jerusalem will continue, says Bibi

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has pledged that Israel will continue to build in Jerusalem.

“Construction in Jerusalem — and anywhere else — will continue in the same way that has been customary during the past 42 years,” Netanyahu said on March 15 during a Likud party meeting, according to reports.

“The Cabinet’s decision to end the construction freeze after 10 months remains standing.”
