Does Minister Erdan Read Caroline Glick?

I just posted Caroline Glick's brilliant take on the "construction freeze" and its lack of concern for Jewish civil rights.

And now this:-

Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan said he may ask the Defense Ministry to halt construction of a new Palestinian city in the West Bank because of concern sewages works may be substandard.

...“If we don’t get the answers we need, we will ask the Defense Ministry to stop all construction activity,” Erdan, who is also a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, said today.

...The Rawabi project aims to house about 25,000 people northwest of Ramallah, the West Bank’s administrative center and home to the Palestinian Authority. Most of the funding comes from the Qatar government’s Diar Real Estate Investment Co.

It is quite strange that on one side people can’t build one room or a balcony and on the other side they can build thousands of apartments,” Erdan said of the Palestinian construction while on a plateau overlooking Rawabi.
