Edelstein announced that he would expedite the application of sovereignty in the Knesset: "One-off Situation"

The Speaker of the Knesset declared that if Netanyahu exploited the US administration's willingness to apply sovereignty in the US, he would immediately enter the plenum. "We must not miss the opportunity," said Edelstein, who made it clear that he was opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state. An official in the PM's entourage said that his office was "working hard" on the decision making

Edelstein announced that he would expedite the application of sovereignty in the Knesset: "One-off Situation"

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein announced Wednesday that he will expedite the application of sovereignty to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and pass it on a "fast track" in the Knesset. He will seek to exploit the "historic readiness" of the US government to apply sovereignty, which he said should not be missed.

Edelstein said at a conference of municipal corporations held at the Herods Hotel in Eilat, "Our great friend of the White House, President Donald Trump, has presented with Prime Minister Netanyahu a plan that completely changes the way the world was accustomed to talk and think about the road to peace. A colorful booklet, or become a historic and changing event - is only our decision. "

Yesterday, Trump introduced the plan, which includes recognizing settlement blocs and freezing construction for four years, during which negotiations will be held for the establishment of a Palestinian state whose capital will include parts of East Jerusalem. Edelstein made it clear that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, the partition of Jerusalem and the freeze of Israeli construction in the Occupied Territories. However, regarding the convening of the plenary vote on the application of sovereignty, the Knesset Speaker said that "no matter what the criticism will be, no matter if there are severe attacks, the right thing will be done. I am sure that in such a rare and one-of-a-kind situation that we are in it, all Zionist parties will exaggerate themselves, put the good of the country before their eyes and not fail it because of momentary political interests. "

Netanyahu intends to bring a decision this Sunday to the upcoming government meeting on the application of Israeli law in the Jordan Valley and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. However, the US administration has made clear in recent days that President Trump wants a committee set up to coordinate the issue and that the move will not be immediate, and Minister Yariv Levine said today that the decision would not be approved this Sunday because of "technical difficulties."

A Washington PMO official said today: "The Prime Minister's Office is working hard to prepare the decision to apply Israeli law in the Jordan Valley and in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. This is a complex work that includes maps and aerial photographs and hopes to complete it as soon as possible."

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman told reporters during a briefing that the United States wants to set up a committee in cooperation with Israel to discuss an Israeli decision on annexation while coordinating the states. "It's a process. You have to make sure that annexation matches the map in our plan," Friedman said. "We will look at the Israeli proposal and make sure it is in line with our plan. We will set up the committee as soon as possible and work on it immediately and try to end quickly but I do not know how long it will take."

Century gift: The Trump plan will not bring peace, but will fulfill the right's dreams

During the presentation of the plan in the White House, Trump said last night that it was "a big step toward peace," standing with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu, who took part in a statement in Washington several hours after he was indicted, thanked the US president, claiming it was a "historic day." In the political system in Israel, a "century deal" was received in mixed reactions: Defense Minister and right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett called for sovereignty over all territories in the coming days, but warned that "the Israeli government will not allow any Palestinian state to be recognized under any circumstances. We will not allow Israel to deliver an inch of land to the Arabs. "

On the other side of the political map, Labor Minister-Meretz Chairman Amir Peretz said the program's foundations are important, but "there is no legitimacy for the existing government to carry out political moves." A strong attack came from the joint list, which said it was "a program to perpetuate the occupation and regulate apartheid. ".

Earlier today, Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz said he would approve the Knesset's peace plan next week to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Due to the election period, Blue and White will not be able to submit the plan as a bill, but only as an order Gather 25 signatures to call for the plenum and discuss the plan If the party raises the "century deal" for the Knesset vote, it may embarrass the Likud and the right-wing parties, as the full plan also includes future concessions by Israel and agreement on the establishment of a future Palestinian state And the right is opposed.

Netanyahu and the right want only to approve the application of sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, without the Israeli concessions, such as establishing a future Palestinian state on 70% of the territory in Judea and Samaria and transferring neighborhoods outside the security fence in East Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority. The vote will force the Likud and right to actually support the establishment of a future Palestinian state, if they wish to express support for the "century deal."
