For the families expelled from Amona, there is pessimism regarding government promises to build a new community for them. The families on Wednesday sent a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Bayit Yehudi party leader Minister Naftali Bennett expressing their fears, citing the so-called temporary area allocated for them in Ofra may become permanent as there does not appear to be progress on building a new community.

The letter came as PM Netanyahu was in the White House for his first meeting with President Donald Trump.
