Applying Sovereignty: "Why Do We Have Trouble?"

Most of the arguments against the application of the law in the Valley, Alon and Gushon Samaria, Benjamin and Etzion are empty scares. The main logical argument is that the current situation is more favorable to Israel, because it is clear that applying the law will cause reactions to Israel, to one degree or another. The warnings are overstated, and sometimes distorted, but surely we will have to fight against Ramallah and Hamas, Europe, Jordan, the UN and the Hague.

So why are we in trouble, with all our control? Because we have a vital interest here. "The world" deterred us, but even without support Trump, we could not forever reject the application of the law (it is true that without Trump we will pay heavy prices.) Israel must cross the border between the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Arab world, and anchor the quarry in a way that would eliminate any assumption it made.

The Palestinian national movement sees the Arab world as the backbone that will serve it later in the historic campaign to abolish Jewish self-determination. Its strategy is devastating: the cultivation of immigration that will inevitably flow to Israel and an internal appeal to its Jewish character. There is no other way to understand their symbolic refusal (recognition of a Jewish nation state in Israel) and the practical already more than a quarter of a century after the Oslo Accords. 

This is where our counterterrorism comes from: thwarting their demographic plan, which relies on the overwhelming Arab majority in the region, through fostering immigration and birth, preventing immigration from our entire West Bank to Israel, and demographic and legalization of Israel at a clear border on the Jordan. Therefore, Israel must reconcile and socio-economic empowerment. The three important routes to the valley: the Afula-Beit She'an and the South axis, the Rosh HaAyin-Ariel and the East axis, and the Jerusalem-Salt Road through the Red Sea. Applying the law in the valley, these axes and the settlement blocks next to them is an essential condition for Israel's undisputed hold. Only applying the law will allow the paving of roads and trains and development in these vital spaces with all the power of the State of Israel and its institutions, which

is necessary not only to thwart the malicious vision of Yasser Arafat and Amin al-Husseini's heirs in order to put a vision of development in place. There is no chance for peace, as long as the geo-strategic and demographic situation allows them to continue to weave devastating, even distant dreams, the atmosphere will be purged of such nightmares with the application of the law - including, of course, all residents in places where the law is applied - Then political arrangements will be made possible Danes-Palestinians. 

A Palestinian state is also not viable in the entire territory that was once called the West Bank. All its purpose would be to demographically undermine the State of Israel through terrorism and immigration through it into the interior of Israel, and then to insult the Palestinians in Jordan. Applying the law will give West Bank residents a choice: settle for citizenship of the "minus state," as Netanyahu's terminology, or associate with Jordan, with most of its residents associated with extensive family, tribal, and national affiliations. That's their business. Israel will not decide. But it is vital that Israel establish the boundaries of the Palestinian elections: Israel will mark a border. It will refuse the citizen who is outside it. And it will strongly prevent Arab immigration to the entire West Bank (which would require a legitimate series!). The very existence of Jordan, which is largely Palestinian, drops the ground in a hypothetical demand that Israelis citizens of the West Bank: open the way for them to join Jordan, and is far superior to the PA The corrupt and cruel one that the PLO established here. A possible breakdown of the PA is not a threat. On the contrary.

Therefore, of all the scares against the application of the law, those that seem more valid touch Jordan. But they are not decisive. The kingdom is more afraid of a dilapidated and subversive Palestinian state on the banks of the Jordan, and it fears Sunni terror and Iranian subversion of Syria and Iraq. Will you risk a rift with Israel, its partner with Ella, the one who supplies it with water and gas? Jordan may come out against Israel to appease its Palestinian subjects and fears that the question of the West Bank's political status will be referred to and undermined. But its instability is a constant phenomenon, whether we apply the law or not - and is precisely a reason for fixing ourselves on the banks of the Jordan.
