It is a known fact that the situation inside pre-1967 Green Line Israel is not sympathetic towards the housing needs of young couples, but that situation is even increasingly problematic in communities throughout Yehuda and Shomron.
�
Danny Dayan, who heads the Council of Settlements in Yehuda and Shomron, explained that during recent years, the government has been implementing its �quiet policy of expulsion� which is the result of the housing freeze.
�
In a press conference he explained that approximately 2,100 Yosh couples that marry annually, 1,600 are compelled to leave Yehuda and Shomron as a result of the housing shortage. That means only 400 couples can remain in one of the yishuvim.
�
Dayan lamented the lies and erroneous facts that are being used to falsely represent life in yishuvim, trying to paint a picture of a false reality that is destructive, contributing to the ongoing policy that defies the natural rate of growth and expansion of Yosh communities.
