Bibi discovers his defense minister
Could it be that Prime Minister Netanyahu has just now discovered that his defense minister is stopping Jews from building in Judea and Samaria? At a meeting of Likud ministers Sunday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu questioned why schools which had been approved for the town of Itamar in Samaria were not being built.Construction for the institutions have been approved by all agencies involved, but ground has not been broken yet, Netanyahu was told at the meeting. He instructed government minister Benny Begin and government secretary Zvi Hauser to find out why.Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. And don't believe that Bibi didn't know exactly why no construction has been undertaken.
At the meeting, Likud faction head Ze'ev Elkin said that the holdup was apparently at the Defense Ministry, which had withheld final approval. Elkin said that the holdup was due to a “useless bureaucratic mixup” that he hoped would be cleared up soon.

As long Ehud Barak remains Defense Minister there will be a de facto construction freeze in Yesha.
Don't expect it to be lifted any time soon in the foreseeable future.
