Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is currently on a first-ever official state visit to Singapore where he is meeting with state leaders.
Some of his most senior advisors during the trip addressed the government promise to construct a new yishuv for the Amona expellees, who are currently living under extremely harsh conditions. The official is quoted saying at present, it is far from certain that Mr. Netanyahu is going to build a new community for Amona residents. The matter now appears to be on hold until such time Mr. Netanyahu completes the visit to the Philippines and subsequent visit to Australia.
Following his meeting with US President Trump in the White House, Mr. Netanyahu spoke of the formation of a joint US/Israeli team which will oversee the future of Yehuda and Shomron, an announcement that elicited the ire of Yesha Council officials.

BIBI NETANYAHU REMEMBER: Zachor es asher lecha Ariel Sharon… who promised the almost 10,000 Jews he expelled from Gaza to replace them and compensate them. We all know the end of the story. – Hashem listened to the cries of the Jews who were neither replaced nor compensated which led to Sharon’s demise after 8 years of terrible suffering.
Oh please
Time to replace Bibi – if does not keep his word to suffering Amona expellees!!!!
