Prime Minister Netanyahu rejects the reports that Israel agreed to a construction freeze. "Contrary to the tweets, construction and recognition in Judea and Samaria will continue according to the original planning and construction schedule, without any changes. There is and will not be any freeze," Netanyahu said.

MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud), Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, rejects the reports that Israel has agreed to a construction freeze in Judea and Samaria.

"I say this briefly so that there are no misunderstandings: construction will not be frozen. 2.5 million Israelis voted right. This is the will of the people. Democracy," Edelstein said.

The American State Department issued an official statement that at the Aqaba Conference an Israeli commitment was agreed not to approve new housing units in Judea and Samaria for the next four months and not to approve the recognition of settlements in the next six months.
