Netanyahu: Meridor's comments are only his opinion

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday declared that Intelligence and Atomic Energy Minister Dan Meridor's comments regarding building in the settlements were only Meridor's opinion and do not represent the government's official position on the issue.
Meridor had said that regular construction should continue only in the settlement blocs that are likely to be annexed to Israel as part of any future agreement with the Palestinians, while building in other settlements should be restricted to "natural growth."
