The Sovereignty movement welcomes the Prime Minister’s remarks today (Sunday, September 1, 2009) at the opening of the school year in Elkana regarding his intention to apply Israeli sovereignty to the communities in Judea and Samaria, but the movement warns of a possible hinting in Netanyahu’s remarks, to the possibility of allowing the establishment of an Arab political entity over the rest of the area in Judea and Samaria.

Such an entity would pose a security and strategic threat to the heart of the State of Israel, and in particular would be a serious blow to the Zionist-Jewish vision to which Israel has yearned for in its years of exile, i.e. the restoration of Israeli sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel, “remarks made by Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, heads of the sovereignty movement.

The movement reminds the public in Israel and the Prime Minister of the words of First Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion at the Zionist Congress in Zurich (1937), which states: “No Jew is allowed to waive the right of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. This is not the authority of any Jew, it is not the authority of any Jewish body. It is not even the authority of the entire Jewish people that lives with us today – to give up any part of it in the land.”
