Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan has endorsed Prime Minister Netnayahu Tuesday, and has vowed to campaign for
and the Likud-Beitenu ticket, Ma’ariv
has reported.
According to Ma’ariv, earlier today, Dayan sent a text message to the
chairmen of the regional councils of Judea and Samaria to notify
that he will publicly endorse Netanyahu and that he plans step down from his
position as Yesha Council Chairman as to remove any conflict of
interest.
In interview with Ma’ariv, Dayan explained that he feared that the
left would unite and that with the help of President Shimon Peres who is
tasked with choosing a party chairman to form a coalition, it would be
the Left and not Netanyahu which would form a government.
Despite, the settlement freeze he said settlement construction is
booming and despite the Bar Ilan speech, in which Netanyahu endorsed
a demilitarized Palestinian state, he said a Palestinian state was not
on the horizon.
“After everything,” Dayan said, “this was an excellent government for the settlements.”
