A new poll published ahead of the Sovereignty Movement conference in Jerusalem, with the participation of ministers and Members of Knesset, shows that a majority of the Jewish public in Israel supports applying Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. A breakdown of the data according to voting patterns in the last election points to especially broad support among voters of coalition parties.
Leaders of the Sovereignty Movement view the findings as further evidence of the dramatic shift that has taken place in Israeli public discourse since the outbreak of the war, and are calling for sovereignty to be applied even before the upcoming elections.
AFSI Insight
AFSI welcomes the poll’s findings as evidence that a strong majority of Israelis support extending Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria and reject the notion that such policies are outside the national consensus. AFSI has consistently maintained that Judea and Samaria are the historic and biblical heartland of the Jewish people and that Israeli sovereignty is both a national right and a security necessity. This poll demonstrates growing public recognition that permanent Israeli control of these areas is essential for Israel’s security, particularly in the aftermath of ongoing regional threats and terrorism. It is imperative now that Israeli leaders act on the will of the public by advancing sovereignty measures rather than yielding to international pressure or pursuing policies that could lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. The poll is also proof that support for sovereignty extends well beyond ideological circles and reflects the views of a broad segment of Israeli society.
