US President Donald Trump's Centennial Plan has created ambivalent feelings across Judea and Samaria - and especially excitement. You can say more because of the historical recognition of Jewish rights over Judea and Samaria, and less because of the result promoted by the plan - the establishment of a Palestinian state.

We set out to hear the voices of the residents, the pros and cons, the pros and cons they see in the plan. It can be estimated that few in Judea and Samaria admit that they support the end result of the plan - the establishment of a Palestinian state. But even those who prefer to focus on the positive side of the plan, there are some who openly say that it will be a disaster for the State of Israel.

For example, Yohai Greenglik from the Shiloh settlement in Benjamin, who serves as a guide on the ancient Shiloh site. On Tuesday evening, he watched President Trump's announcement and he admits he was so excited that he even congratulated "that we were alive and well and that we had reached this time." He added: "My first feeling was a very great, even dramatic, excitement. The feeling is complex."

"True, there is the side of the risk that it might go to a Palestinian state, but this is the first time that we first get what we deserve, and only then have the conditions en route to a Palestinian state. The great joy, first of all, is the recognition of our right to Judea and Samaria, something we have been hoping and waiting for for a long time, which is something to be glad and thankful for, and to hear Netanyahu mention in his speech the ancient Shiloh ".

Dalia Nadav, a resident of Anatot in Benjamin, was also excited as she watched the live broadcast. "I understood what my parents felt when they declared the establishment of the state. There is recognition of our historical rights. The United States is the most powerful country in the world, and during a period of politically correct and half truth telling, there is a voice that treats the truth as it is."

It also opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, but admits that their presence on the ground cannot be ignored. She also says: "Finally, here is a reference to our history and not to attempts to establish the lie that we are here because of the Holocaust. We are here because we have a history and a godly promise. There is an exercise in understanding that we are here to stay."

Feeling confused

Shmuel Silberman, a resident of How in southern Gush Etzion, a settlement that will remain as an enclave in the future Palestinian state, says: "We were delighted to hear about the declaration. It is certainly a joy, and it is a great historical moment on the one hand. "We hope that the result will not be a Palestinian state and harm to the isolated communities."

Not far from the ancient Shiloh is the Amichai settlement, established for the Amona evacuees. Tamar and Yoheida Nazri, who were leaders in the fight against the evacuation, prefer to focus on the future implications of the plan. "On the one hand there is a sense of excitement, and seemingly historical moments, but I felt confused. They are talking about the possibility of dividing the Land of Israel, giving them a state, and to me this is something that cannot be agreed at all."

Jehoiada adds: "The whole aura around this thing, which is something huge and historic, may come out of it at the end of something historic and big, but the very talk of establishing a state here - not this boy we meant. I'm angry at Bibi who did not place the Land of Israel as belonging to all parts of it To the people of Israel, as a target, and instead talked about a Palestinian state. "

Lior and Dacla Mariel had a glass

They say they don't need Trump to believe that Jews have rights on the ground, but understand that some do. "Sometimes we need to hear outside, to recognize it within us. It is a huge realization of our historical right, to lead and hold all the borders of our country," says Tamar.

Lior and Dekla Gutheight of Ariel picked up a glass. He grew up in the city, and his parents and his wife's parents live in it. "The feeling is good. This is a positive period for settlement and it makes us very happy."

Elad Excellent, a native and resident of Ariel, CEO of the Ariel Development Fund, says his feeling is positive, but he maintains cautious optimism. "There is great benefit to applying sovereignty and applying Israeli law, but I believe there is also some harm in using the general directive of a Palestinian state. . I believe Netanyahu is doing this because he believes the Palestinians will reject the proposal.

"In the short term, I do not see harm, because it will not be a state tomorrow, but I see harm in the fact that the right leader uses this rhetoric. Those who follow him will have to deal with this legacy. There is a historic event here, but we must not dazzle and forget the other side of the plan. ".
