The Knesset has summoned representatives of the defense establishment, the Justice Ministry and the Settlements and National Missions Ministry to discuss the practical implications of applying sovereignty to Judea and Samaria.
Lawmaker Zvi Sukkot of the Religious Zionism Party will lead the hearing and said, “The time has come to decide the future of the State of Israel. This is an opportunity that must not be missed. Implementing sovereignty will, God willingly, determine the future of Judea and Samaria and the future of the entire State of Israel.”
The professed purpose of the hearing is to advance sovereignty over Judea and Samaria “immediately,” according to the report.
That advancing the application of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria is being discussed is a great thing and a step in the right direction. On the other hand, that the application of sovereignty has to be discussed to begin with drags on the process of what doesn’t need to be debated in the first place. Until the time comes when there is no question or internal debate as to Israel’s legal rights to Judea and Samaria, politics dictates that Israel go through this sham dress rehearsal.
