Israeli lawmakers debate ‘construction terror’ by Palestinians in West Bank

 
MK Moti Yogev (Habayit Hayehudi) has called Palestinian construction in Israeli-controlled Area C of the West Bank “construction terror,” echoing settler activists who say the area must be defended against a “takeover” by Palestinians.
