Regev: The Likud party’s Constitution necessitates sovereignty over Judean and Samarian Communities

The Chairwoman of the Knesset Lobby for the Application of Israeli Sovereignty over Judean and Samarian Communities, MK Miri Regev, promises to continue the ongoing parliamentary struggle to implement the Application of Sovereignty Bill over Judean and Samarian communities first, followed by the entire region.

The Likud party’s Constitution necessitates the application of sovereignty over the Judean and Samarian communities. This reminder is brought to us by MK Miri Regev (Likud), who founded the Lobby for the Application of Israeli Law over the Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria, about two months ago.

MK Regev addresses this matter in her video greeting to the attendees of the Second Conference for the Application of Israeli Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, a conference due to be held this coming Thursday in Hebron.

In her speech, Regev tells of the forming of the new lobby and points out that the focus of the lobby to apply sovereignty over the Jewish communities is not an alternative to the real aspiration, which is applying sovereignty over the entire region, but rather the first step towards that goal.

“I founded the lobby as a beginning. I haven’t relinquished sovereignty throughout all of Judea and Samaria. This move was meant to help the Prime Minister take the first step, and then do what the Likud party’s Constitution necessitates – the completion of Israeli sovereignty over all the communities of Judea and Samaria”.

Regev expresses sorrow for the Application of Israeli Sovereignty over the Judean and Samarian Communities Bill’s failure to pass the Ministerial Committee on Legislative Affairs. She refers to the concerns that were raised lest such a move would complicate Israel in the international arena but states that just as the sky didn’t fall after applying Israeli law over the Golan Heights and just as the heavens didn’t come crashing down when Israeli law was applied over East Jerusalem, thus will it be with Judea and Samaria.

“We need to have faith and raise the proposition for this bill every six months, in accord with Knesset regulations, and make sure the matter of Judea and Samaria remains in the public consciousness and discourse, and to turn the settling of Judea and Samaria into the consensus”, says Regev and reminds us that the 350,000 residents of Judea and Samaria were sent there by the Israeli government which took measures to house them, arrange transportation, water and electricity for them, and now the Members of Knesset need to do everything in their power to protect them and to prevent other elements from one day demanding that they abandon their homes, homes they paid for with good money.

“Together we will do whatever it takes to strengthen the communities and we will do everything so that B”H we will bring this bill to pass. We will not give up”, promises Regev.

MK Regev’s greetings, along with MK Zeev Elkin’s blessings, will be presented on video during the Second Conference for the Application of Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria which will be held on Thursday, 22nd of Tamuz (12/7/12), in Hebron.
