From Earl Cox, a Christian Zionist and MIssionary:

For many, the settlement issue essentially boils down to: Should we obey G-d, or should we obey man? Who is our higher authority?
Again, a difficult conflict has arisen in Israel - this time, with regard to the government's order to freeze construction of new housing
units in the so-called Jewish "settlements" in Judea and Samaria.
For many, the issue essentially boils down to: Should we obey G-d, or should we obey man? Who is our higher authority?
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently reversed his position on construction of new homes in the settlements. He had stood strongly
against US and international pressure on the issue since taking office; but suddenly and surprisingly ordered a construction freeze.
However, it should not be overlooked that the ordered freeze is both temporary and incomplete. It is to be in effect for only 10 months, and does not include 3,000 housing units already under construction in Judea and Samaria. Nor does it include east Jerusalem.
Israeli soldiers have been instructed by their government to enforce the freeze. However, many soldiers are defying those orders.
