Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 31 October 1996


Re: Funding for the settlements

The allocation of NIS 600 million to the settlements of Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) in the 1997 budget is but a continuation of the policy of the previous Government, not a reversal of it. This approach is a surrender to the attempts of the extreme left to create a division between the residents of development towns and the Jews of Yesha. Professors for a Strong Israel demands a real change in the nation's order of priorities.
