Efrat Council chief Oded Ravivi, who attended a meeting with the prime minister and a leader of supporters of the program, spoke yesterday with a talk with "Israel Today" about allegations raised by its opponents.

Why do you think the Trump plan is good for Israel ?

"In my view, the Trump plan is good for both Israel and the settlement, primarily because of the change of trend. So far, they have seen the settlement as a barrier to peace and now see it as a partner in peace, for example through the common industrial zones. "It is also important to Israel because there is now a broad consensus in the Knesset and the public to adopt the plan, and Israeli unity is important. Equally important is Israel's relationship with the US."

Do you believe sovereignty in the valley and settlement will actually be applied ?

"I believe that sovereignty will be applied in the valley and in the settlement and also believe that it is up to us, the settler leadership and the State of Israel."

Don't you fear the Trump plan will lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state ?

"The question about the definition of a Palestinian state is a matter of semantics, there is reality and in this reality there are Arabs and Jews. We live next to each other and not one to another. Entity, which clearly indicates that this is not the establishment of a state like all states. "

Does the sovereignty map leave the outposts outside? It was also argued that the map sovereignty will lead to disconnect the settlements in the West Bank, including Jerusalem between Kiryat Arba, or Binyamin and Samaria. Really ?

"Regarding the map, unfortunately, the truth is not told. All localities will receive such status where, as soon as the declaration is made, Israeli law will be applied to all that is implied. The surrounding security reality will not change, as will the movement in the deputies. The IDF remains and remains where it is today. The plan seeks that, after applying Israeli law to Yeshuv residents, we will work to enter into negotiations with the Palestinians and if and when they meet the very strict conditions for them ... Until then it is clear to me that it is right for her to settle the plan and adopt it for her future. "

Will there be freezing of enclave construction ?

"I personally do not know any directive to freeze construction in localities and do not recognize such a desire on the part of the Americans."

Does the Yesha Council represent you ?

"The Yesha Council is a significant body to me, at the moment our opinions are divided. "I am afraid that some of the Yesha Council's conduct at the moment may cause the Israeli leadership to think twice, and then the American side.
