Four days ago, the chairman of the American intelligence service, William Burns, referred to the increasing violence in the United States and said that he is "quite concerned" about the escalation in recent weeks.
"A lot of what we're seeing looks, in a very unpleasant way, like the period before the second intifada," Burns said during a rare speech at an academic institution in the United States.
Burns suggested testing a freeze on construction in the settlements as a step to calm the area, and the right raised an outcry.
Worried.

Following the report on the American request, the Nahala movement in response to the postponement of the construction in Judea and Samaria and the freezing of the destruction of the Arab takeover responded to the words and said that "a huge public in Israel chose the new right-wing government in order to establish new settlements and start a construction boom all over the Land of Israel and in particular in Judea and Samaria. The Israeli government has no mandate It is moral to submit to the pressure of world politics, including the United States. Only a firm stand for the independence of the State of Israel and the establishment of new settlements all over the Land of Israel will provide national resilience and prevent the rise of terrorism.

"We expect the Prime Minister to announce today an immediate return to the settlement of Avitar and the establishment of a ministerial committee that will immediately prepare a government plan for the establishment of new settlements and a broad construction boom in all areas of Judea and Samaria and the curbing of the Arab takeover."
MK Limor Son Har-Melech, in response to the US demand from Netanyahu to freeze construction in Judea and Samaria, said that "the construction in Judea and Samaria will continue, and even more so. We were elected to promote a true right-wing policy and bring about a development boom in settlement in all its parts - with an emphasis on the seizure of the open areas A critical campaign is taking place on them, and this is what we will do. The State of Israel is the only one that will decide what to do in its sovereign territory, and all foreign pressures of this and that will not deter us."
MK Dan Iloz also said, "It is forbidden to bend to the demands of foreign countries, even when it comes to friends.
Israel and only Israel will decide on its policy.
A temporary stop at the present time will only encourage the wave of terrorism.
Weakness does not prevent terrorism.
Only standing firm does that."
MK Ohad Tal "I oppose any kind of freeze.
The State of Israel is a sovereign state and its policies must not be influenced by external factors.
I am sure that the Prime Minister understands this and will not allow such blatant external involvement to influence government policy. Construction in Israel is not only a security issue, it is a critical growth engine for lowering prices and housing in Israel."
