Growing frustration in Likud with Trump administration
Likud leaders expressed frustration with the Trump administration during a meeting in Maaleh Adumim Tuesday afternoon; the first open criticism by senior Likud officials of the president since he took office this January.
At the meeting, which was hosted by Maaleh Adumim Mayor Benny Kashriel and included Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, senior Likud members echoed statements made by Environmental Protection Minister Zeev Elkin(Likud) Monday to NRG.
While Elkin said that the Trump administration was by and large a significant improvement over its predecessor, he noted that vis-à-vis Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria, the White House’s attitude had changed little.
“We, the Land of Israel Lobby, have presented a bill to extend Israeli sovereignty over Maaleh Adumim, and I have brought the Greater Jerusalem bill, which includes sovereignty,” said Kish. “The idea is to create a metropolitan area of Jerusalem.”
"[T]he only thing that has not changed is the negative way it looks at Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria. On this issue, the administration continues the tradition of the Obama administration."
"Even this current administration, as friendly to us as they are, need to be told that some things are a national interest, such as building in Hevron."
During Tuesday’s meeting, MK Yoav Kish, chairman of the Land of Israel Lobby in the Knesset, also criticized the Trump administration’s policies relating to Israeli housing projects in Judea and Samaria.
“I have a lot of criticism for America’s involvement in what’s happening on the ground [in Judea and Samaria]. President Trump speaks very well, but at the end of the day practically speaking we don’t see enough change, and I’m frustrated with that. We need to keep pressuring. We expect action from the Americans, not just rhetoric.” READ MORE
