As always, I don't let anything else bother me from working for you - for the security of Israel, for the future of Israel. "

Earlier today, a Trump administration official told "Israel Today" that the evening will be given a green light to apply sovereignty and that Americans expect immediate implementation. "Trump will give Netanyahu a green light for annexation today. From that moment, everything will be in the hands of Netanyahu when the administration even expects him to annex immediately," the senior official said.
The summit launching of the program, which took place this evening, came after yesterday US President Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and MK Ben-Gantz. In meetings with them, Trump discusses with the two about the Centennial Plan.
Meanwhile, with the Palestinians' threats to light the area following the publication of the Century Plan, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett and Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi earlier today held a special status assessment in the Judea and Samaria Area. Minister Bennett directed the forces to prepare for an immediate escalation scenario as well as for the unrest in the absence of cooperation from the Palestinian Authority.
An assessment of the security situation took place after it was announced yesterday that Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas attacked the political plan expected to be presented by President Trump, calling it "a dog of a dog."
