Benjamin Netanyahu said in the evening of 28-8-2017, during a celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the start of settlement in the northern occupied West Bank, held in the settlement of “Barkan” established on the land of Palestinians:
“There is a wave of construction in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), We lead those large activities, and there is no Israeli government worked better for settlements than the government I lead. We have returned here and will stay here forever … no settlements will be uprooted in the Land of Israel anymore.
