US Congresswoman Betty McCollum tweeted: “The Biden administration should refuse to build on confiscated land, and show that the United States will not tolerate, let alone be complicit in, the theft of any more Palestinian property…Failing to do so will only embolden the Mr. government.” The new Netanyahu is dangerously extremist."
