Press release by the Sovereignty Movement in reaction to PM Netanyahu’s announcement re the application of Israeli Sovereignty over the Jordan Valley

The Sovereignty movement welcomes the Prime Minister’s announcement on the application of Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, a move that puts a damper on the delusional idea of establishing another Arab state in the heart of our Land. The Sovereignty movement emphasizes that sovereignty over the Jordan Valley must be a first significant step towards the complete process of applying Israeli sovereignty to all of  Judea and Samaria.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu once again proves that he is aware of the Zionist vision laid on his shoulder at this historic time, and the political momentum that allowed recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the transfer of the US embassy and other embassies to Jerusalem, and now the application of sovereignty in the Jordan Valley. However, one must be vigilant and make sure that this is not a partial “compensation” for  withdrawals elsewhere in Judea and Samaria. There are no deals on any part of the Land of Israel. The Land of Israel fulfills the Zionist vision of applying Israeli sovereignty to it. “

The Sovereignty movement also adds, “We welcome the return to the election campaign of ideological value discourse and the full duty of loyalty to the Land of Israel.”

Clarification from the sovereignty movement 

Following inquiries from reporters the Sovereignty movement clarifies and emphasizes that  alongside the praise of the prime minister’s choice to restore the sovereignty discourse on the Land of Israel to the political and public arena, Netanyahu’s comments on sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and communities should be treated with caution.

The movement mentions that sovereignty only over the Jewish communities means abandoning most of Judea and Samaria to the establishment of a Arab terrorist political entity in the heart of the country and the practical strangulation of the Jewish communities, even if Israeli law was applied to them.

The Sovereignty movement also mentions that “so far only declarations of sovereignty have been heard. The time has come for action. The people demand actual sovereignty over the entire territory,” say the heads of the sovereignty movement, Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar.
