The joint US-Israel committee tasked with mapping the areas in which Israel would apply its Sovereignty held its first meeting on Monday outside the Samaria city of Ariel.
At the meeting were Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, his senior adviser Aryeh Lightstone, and Scott Leith, who is the director of Israeli and Palestinian affairs in the US National Security Council.
Ambassador Friedman said before the start of the meeting: “…we’re going to get to work right away. We hope to complete it as soon as possible, and complete it the right way for the State of Israel.”
