Leaders from Judea and Samaria are preparing for President-elect Donald Trump’s entry into the White House. While the heads of the communities gathered to formulate an action plan for the president-elect’s new term in office, the head of the Shomron Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, left for a visit to the United States that included meetings with senior Republicans and members of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington. The meetings were, of course, mainly concerned with the hope of applying Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
“We presented the members of Congress with our request and demand that the U.S. government either support or not oppose and thwart sovereignty over the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. We have partners here who have promised to be involved in this matter,” Dagan said. “Even if the U.S. administration cannot say that it is in favor of it, and even has to say that it is opposed, it will not fight the way the Biden administration would have fought.”
He also called on the prime minister and government ministers to act. “The ball is in your court. You can apply sovereignty immediately upon the entry of the Trump administration,” he said.
