Following the exchange of words and statements yesterday between Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the fact that the issue of annexation of the Jordan Valley has again come on the public agenda, calls on Jordan Valley Council Chairman David Alhaini to bring the Jordan Valley sovereignty law into effect on Sunday From the government, and on Tuesday for a vote in the Knesset.

Following Gantz's remarks that he will act after the elections to apply Israeli sovereignty, under international agreement, the Jordan Valley says that international agreement is important, but the chances that Europe will support during are slim and therefore Israel should not wait for such support.

Anna Meller, a resident of Na'ama Moshav in the Jordan Valley: "I'm glad the Jordan Valley is making headlines again. This is a place that matters to the State of Israel and we are part of the country. I think there must be international acceptance of the sovereignty move, but I also know that will not happen. The question is whether it is practical or impractical to make such a move without international consent. It's not a simple thing. '

Meller talks about good relations with their Palestinian neighbors, and how such a move will affect them. "We don't want it to become a war," she says, "so I believe they will eventually find the right formula. We have hope and joy alongside understandable concerns. "

Like other residents of the Jordan Valley, Meller also links yesterday's statements to the upcoming elections, saying, "Why didn't they talk about it a year ago? Why is it always a moment before you go to the ballot box? ' Another resident told us it was irrelevant to him if the statements were related to the election or not. 'Of course they are related. They would not be told if there were no elections soon, but it is irrelevant whether it is a spin or not. What matters is that this issue is on the agenda, and that a solution to the issue of the Jordan Valley will soon be found. You can't ignore it anymore. Everyone understands, both right and left, that the Jordan Valley cannot be given up and left that way, even impossible, "he says.

Shimon Bar Asher, a resident of Crimson Seat, welcomed statements yesterday saying, "I don't think I'm a Type B citizen, and I deserve every citizen of the country. After 40 years, it is time to declare the valley as Israeli territory. What is more, the vast majority of the Israeli public believes that the territory is essential to security media and that the state cannot be protected without creating a barrier between it and the Arab states. "

Bar also talks about coexistence with their Palestinian neighbors and says that they too need to find a solution. 'We don't want to upset them. We have no problem being annexed and given rights, "he says, concluding:" The Jordan Valley will always be on the agenda. At the end we are here and we will find a solution sooner or later. Unfortunately the world will not agree with this move, but we have no choice. The world will not fight for us if there is a war here and he cannot force his opinion. "

David Alejini, head of the Yesha Council and Jordan Valley, responded to UN Secretary-General Nikolai Maldenov's response Wednesday to Netanyahu's declaration that he will work to apply sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the North Dead Sea. C, or parts of it, will destroy the chance of resuming negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and the chance of promoting regional peace. This will destroy the two-state solution. "

Al-Khaney responded briefly to the UN envoy, saying: "UN is despised and the understander will understand."
