The process of applying Israeli law to the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea Region, settlement in the West Bank and Area C Shaliah concluded last night (Tuesday) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with US President Donald Trump rejoices part of Israel and upholds another part of it, but one thing is for sure - there are loads Changes that need to be made as a result of the decision, for example, residents will be able to register their homes on the taboo

The biggest change that will lead to the biggest consequences is the status of settlements and the transition from "military government" to Israeli territory officially. Once the government does decide to apply sovereignty on the ground, there will be consequences in every possible area and quite a few changes that need to be made by quite a few bodies.

The State of Israel will, as mentioned, become the official sovereign on the ground, thus effectively "saving" the residents of Judea and Samaria to conduct military and civilian administration. That is, they will now simply, like the other citizens, face government ministries, such as building plans that do not require the approval of the rank Political.

In the legal aspect, the question arises as to what is different from the legal status of the settlers today from the status of the other citizens of the state and what will change as a result of the application of Israeli law to them. To understand this question in depth, we turned to attorney Maurice Hirsch, to understand all of these complex legal issues.

Adv. Hirsch, head of the legal department at the Palestinian Media Lookout, Lieutenant Colonel Mil and former senior military prosecutor, explains that this is in fact a complete upheaval, since to date Israeli Knesset law does not apply to Israelis who settle in Judea and Samaria.
"Today, Judea and Samaria apply military law, whose authority is military and not at all the authority of the sovereign Israeli government," he explains. "" That is, the champion of the Central Command would each time produce a decree that applies Israeli law in Judea and Samaria to the territory. Basic, pensions, social rights, days off, maternity leave, traffic laws, bag law, taboo registration, construction, property taxes, all were previously adjusted by the IDF and the commander-in-chief of the field of reality. "

"This situation will change from the moment Israeli law is applied in all of these places. From that moment on, all state laws will apply completely. For example, an Israeli citizen who employs Arab workers will be required by law in all their social rights, even if they are residents of the Palestinian Authority. "It will apply to Israeli citizens who settle, but also to all Arabs who live in the area. They will have to decide whether they are citizens of the state or residents of the state."

Hirsch continues: "The difference is only thanks to the Knesset elections. The example is East Jerusalem. After annexation of the eastern city of Israel, all Arab residents in this part offered Israeli citizenship, but they preferred to be residents of the state. It is interesting to note that after the construction of the separation fence, many of these residents wanted to apply directly for citizenship that is good for them here. In this respect, too, in all these areas the state will have to decide what the status of the Arab residents is. "

Unable to freeze

It is interesting to note that Adv. Hirsch is related to the Israeli promise to freeze construction in the Occupied Territories for four years. "Israeli construction laws are uniform and do not actually allow any construction freeze. In other words, if the law is applied to these areas, special legislation will be required in the Knesset to allow a freeze, because otherwise the government will have no authority to freeze construction because all procedures will operate as within Israel itself. "

Adv. Ze'ev Lev, a partner and founder of the Rotman-Lev office specializing in representing local authorities and real estate law, argues that in the first stage there will be an impact mainly in the municipal field, such as the levies of improvement that have not yet been collected in the court, and yet Arnona for land A building that the law canceled in all of Israel but in the Judea and Samaria continued to charge. In addition, it will be necessary to regulate the military's powers in the localities, especially the deputies, to whom the law will be applied.

"In the longer term," he says, "the application of modern Israeli real estate law to Judea and Samaria, instead of the Ottoman law of 1858, starting today, will put into effect the 'Market Regulation' which states that a person who purchased land in good faith can retain his right to it. This means that many homes in Judea and Samaria that are currently being built under the concern of a Palestinian prosecution, following changes in the military's military and so on, are now able to breathe.
