Bennett promised the settlement leaders that there would be no construction or planning freezes in Judea and Samaria under his government. He also expressed understanding of the need to expand and develop the settlements.
The settlement leaders asked Bennett that a meeting of the IDF Civil Administration's planning council, which was cancelled, be held soon and include construction plans that are at the advanced stages.
