In the course of this, Netanyahu rejected the claims that no security system official would be part of the team, and made it clear that the Israeli team would work closely with the security forces.

"In recent weeks, we have brought a huge line to the State of Israel and the Land of Israel. My friend President Trump has clearly stated that he will recognize Israeli sovereignty in the Jordan Valley, the northern Dead Sea, in all the communities in Judea and Samaria and the extensive area surrounding them. It's in full swing, "Netanyahu said.

"I have appointed Minister Yariv Levin, the head of the National Security Council, Meir Ben Shabbat, the Director General of Ronen Peretz's ministries, and they will also be assisted by Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dramer," he continued. "This team will work closely with the settlers and, of course, security, to complete the task soon. The Americans, for their part, will work with us. We will complete the task as quickly as possible. We make the homeland in the West Bank part of the State of Israel forever."

Germany: "Stands alongside Israel in court"

In his remarks, Netanyahu also referred to a lawsuit against Israel in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and admitted to Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Brazil and Uganda that they wanted to stand next to Israel at trial. "The International Court of Justice in The Hague has long become a political instrument in the war against Israel," said Netanyahu. "He is currently trying to turn the fact that we are in our homeland into a war crime. We are fighting this and alongside, I must say, many friendships in the world. I want to welcome Germany, Australia, Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Uganda who joined the US in standing firm alongside Israel.

"I spoke with some of the leaders of these countries, and together with international organizations and world-class experts, they expressed a clear position that the International Court of Justice has no authority to discuss the conflict between the State of Israel and the Palestinians. This is a statement made after a major diplomatic effort on my part, And from the Foreign Ministry. Last Thursday, they filed a letter to the International Court of Justice in which these countries accepted that the Tribunal was discussing our case. They are trying to prevent ugly politicization by the International Court of Justice, but unfortunately it has already taken place. The fact that many countries have come to our side, and to the US - is a fact that should definitely encourage all Israel's friends around the world and all of Israel's citizens. "

"Israel becomes a regional and global power"

Finally, Netanyahu addressed his meeting with the Sudanese leader, saying that this week an Israeli team is expected to convene a plan to expand the areas of cooperation. "The goal is to reach the end of normalization and diplomatic relations between Israel and Sudan. I instructed the NSC to lead this historic process together with all the Israeli security and civilian bodies," said Netanyahu, adding, "We are in the process of normalizing a very large number of Arab states. And Muslim countries. You only see part of it, it's the tip of the iceberg that is above the water.

"Underwater there are many other processes that are changing the Middle East and positioning Israel as both a regional and a global power. This is the fruit of our policy. We foster the power of Israel, and people make alliances and establish relationships with strong countries, Israel is a strong country." Netanyahu ended his remarks.
