(Times of Israel) Shalom Yerushalmi - "Contrary to the impression they're trying to make, the Americans don't care that much about the Ministry of Construction and Housing's decision [on West Bank construction], and they have no problem tolerating it," a source close to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Friday. "This construction is not part of the conversation we are having with the Americans. We noticed that. The Americans understand the political situation here very well, and they do not want to see us go down over this."

"This is our perception and these are the messages we are transmitting and receiving, and it does not matter what is being published on the matter."
