Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended last Thursday, the signing ceremony for the roof agreement in Maaleh Adumim. This includes the construction of more than 7,600 new housing units and an investment of NIS 3 billion, which is expected to double the city’s population within five years.
Netanyahu spoke at the signing ceremony: “What we are doing here is, in effect, realizing a dream. Within five years, there will be 70,000 people here. This will be a major change,”
He added: “We know that there is another change here, or to be more precise, another implementation of a promise, not from the Bible, but a current one. We said that there will not be a Palestinian state – and indeed there will be no Palestinian state! This place is ours. We will see to our heritage, our land and our security.”
