The new government has not yet left, and we are already at the beginning of the sovereignty campaign. First: the terminology. The left insists on the phrase "annexation," instead of the more precise legal term: "applying sovereignty." It's not accidental. Although no other sovereignty was recognized on the ground in terms of international law, other than the recognition of the national right of the Jewish people to its own country in the British Mandate, the Palestinian state's advocates choose the term "annexation." It comes from the same world of concepts from which "occupation" also comes, and is used to erase the linguistic right of our historical and legal right to our country. 

Second, what began as a drip immediately after the White House program was announced, escalated into a flood of poor warnings. On the one hand, some commentators are excited to chill the enthusiasm and hang in high tunes at the top of the US government to explain that July 1 is not a holy date for the US. On the other hand, Secretary of State Pompeo is accepting calls to "halt annexation" and trying to dwarf American support for Israel as such stemming from considerations of presidential elections. 

in this campaign with the participation of "commanders for the defense", which regularly publish position papers denouncing rejected the application of the sovereignty and sailing horror scenarios about the end of the Zionist dream. all this is happening in their alternative plan advocates B"hifrdot "from the Palestinians in the West Bank. In the same breath, it is believed that the damage to the disengagement from Gaza can no longer be resolved by military means, but only through the introduction of the Palestinian Authority into the area. That is, the establishment of a Palestinian state is the one that will put an end to our concerns. 

Third: The position of the nations of the world. International support is considered positive only when compared with Israeli policy. After all, almost unqualified support from the world's most important superpower, the United States, is not only unsatisfactory, but it is leading to a dangerous cause. The tyranny of sovereignty is not filled with the humility and pride of reverberating the historic right of the Jewish people. On the contrary, they are perceived as fierce nostalgia for Obama's ultimatum; The pressure imposed to freeze any construction in the settlement, if only to begin negotiations with the Palestinians; The US veto waived at the end of his term so that resolution 2334 was adopted against the settlement. Similarly, today, France and some of the EU countries, whose historic commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel was often unconditional, are well-communicated due to their opposition to the move, Possible sanctions. 

One important lesson to be learned. Sovereignty is one of the most historically important political moves for the people of Israel and the State of Israel, and the paradigm shift in the White House view makes the few months remaining until the US election less dramatic. The State of Israel and the entire national camp must stand firm against all pressures and begin to produce a fortification system that will first repel the false campaign and produce in its place the discourse of truth and explanatory tools necessary for the success of the move. The fight has already begun.
