Defense Minister MK Naftali Bennett spoke Wednesday at the National Security Research Institute (INSS) conference, addressing the century-long program launched last week by U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Last night, history knocked on the door of our house, giving us a one-time opportunity to apply Israeli law to the entire settlement in Samaria, Judea and the Jordan Valley. This is an opportunity to determine the Jordan Valley as Israel's western border, an opportunity to determine the territories of our country, an opportunity to anchor our security for generations. "

Bennett continued that "US President Donald Trump, the greatest friend of the State of Israel in the White House, told us last night: 'Apply Israeli law to all of Judea and Samaria immediately, now, in the coming days, and the US will recognize sovereignty immediately'". Minister Bennett emphasized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to exploit, otherwise it would be a cry for generations. "When Arala from the Lottery Knocks at the door, you don't tell her come back after the election and you don't tell her just give me a tenth of the amount. Several times they talked about the Jordan Valley before the election and nothing happened after the election. Everything that is not done now will remain outside for another 50 years, until The next historical opportunity.

"If we reject or reduce the application of sovereignty, then the opportunity of the century, will be missed."

Minister Bennett referred to reports this morning that the proposal to apply sovereignty would not apply next Sunday. "This morning the big question is whether the Israeli government will take the opportunity or miss it. Yesterday, the prime minister's environment announced that the sovereignty decision would be brought this Sunday to vote in the government. This morning, there was already other music. Government ministers explain that there is headquarters, which needs a process with the attorney general , Having a bureaucracy. "

The defense minister stressed that in his view "what will be postponed after the elections will never happen. We all understand that. Every settlement, every meter of land, postponed after the elections, will remain outside for another 50 years. If we reject or reduce the application of sovereignty, then the century's opportunity will be missed. Century. "

Bennett enumerated the three principles he sees as anchors for realizing and implementing the Centennial Plan: "The first, applying sovereignty now, and not after the election. Second, applying sovereignty to whatever territory President Trump is ready for. No settlement and no Israeli will remain outside. And the third principle - the Israeli government You will not recognize a Palestinian state. In my view, this is not necessary. "

Minister Bennett announced that in order to implement the historic plan, he had already begun to take action. "I am announcing here that yesterday I instructed the establishment of a special team to implement and implement Israeli law on all Israeli settlements in Samaria, Judea, the Jordan Valley and the Northern Dead Sea. In this situation, Prime Minister Netanyahu will grant full backing and support for this historic move. To reckless measures by one or the other. Any attempt to challenge the security of Israeli citizens will run into the wall in a way. "

Former Chief of Staff and Head of the National Security Research Institute, Amos Yadlin, also addressed before the Secretary of Defense's rise to the stage of what was launched last night. "This week may have the potential to be a historic week. President Trump's peace plan has the potential to change the situation in the Middle East and Israel's position. Its long-term impact on the conflict with the Palestinians can be significant, and Israel's relationship with the Arab world in its turn could have a dramatic turnaround. "

"This peace plan, surpasses any peace plan that has ever gone up to the table and moved to the shelf. It is an invaluable gift. However, it is not perfect and we must look at the same complexly controlled reality and ask ourselves where we are going from here," the head of the Yadlin Institute emphasized.
