[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: "Herschkowitz suggested that an arrangement could be found that could allow construction in the settlements to continue without public acknowledgment."

And Peace Now's program monitoring construction will decline to report the construction?]

(Dr. Lerner's comment certainly covers anything I might say. Take a look at the article and see if there is an issue.)

Herschkowitz sure PM will reject Obama's natural growth freeze

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will reject US President Barack Obama's request for a freeze on natural growth in Judea and Samaria, Habayit Hayehudi head Daniel Herschkowitz said Sunday, based on conversations with Netanyahu.

In an interview with the science and technology minister at his Jerusalem office, Herschkowitz told The Jerusalem Post that he did not believe Netanyahu would cross any red lines of Habayit Hayehudi, the most right-wing party in his coalition.

"From my own talks with the prime minister, I can say confidently that I don't think he will freeze natural growth in the settlements," Herschkowitz said. "I am sure he is in favor of allowing natural growth, but he must navigate smartly and walk between the rain drops to ensure that he will get along with the American administration."

Herschkowitz suggested that an arrangement could be found that could allow construction in the settlements to continue without public acknowledgment.

He said this would be preferable to the opposite scenario of press reports of settlement construction when in fact there is none.
