The Sovereignty Movement is receiving Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s announcement motzei Shabbos of his intention to apply Israeli sovereignty over all the settlements in Yehuda and Shomron with “Cautious satisfaction”.

The movement stresses that this is indeed a historic moment, because even if it is an election promise, for the first time a prime minister in Israel sees Israeli sovereignty in Yehuda and Shomron as a viable political program.

“This statement should be welcomed as a significant element in the implementation of the vision of sovereignty in Israeli diplomacy and policy,” said movement leaders Yehudit Katzover and Nadia Matar, who emphasize that “we have yet to hear a Bar-Ilan speech from the prime minister.”

Katzover and Matar recall that according to most signs and reports, the Trump plan is expected to include the establishment of a Palestinian state on part of Yehuda and Shomron in parallel with the application of sovereignty over Yehuda and Shomron, a plan that is well aligned with the prime minister’s seemingly contradictory statements.

According to them, in the coming elections, the right-wing parties should be strengthened to strengthen Netanyahu’s last statement regarding the application of sovereignty and not as part of a comprehensive plan in the spirit of the Trump deal. “Israel does not make deals on the land of Israel, sovereignty is a historical and Zionist necessity in all of Yehuda and Shomron without compromises and without withdrawals,” Matar and Katzover added.
