Sharp attack on Likud following Yesha Council campaign against century plan Away from drawing maps

Two weeks before the target date for the imposition of sovereignty: Some of the settlement leaders continue to oppose the Centennial Plan - and the Likud ranks are launching a fierce offensive against them.

In closed talks, senior party officials call the heads of settlers who oppose the century plan "irresponsible" and even "crazy." They accuse them of disseminating misinformation about maps, and of preventing a historic opportunity to apply sovereignty. "After 70 years of expectation, it is precisely the settlers who will destroy the historic possibility of applying sovereignty. They are rotating between the ministers and MKs, interviewing the media, briefing anyone against the plan and they do not even know its details to the end," the Likud says.

Likud officials say that following opposition from some of the colonial leaders, they were called for clarification against the Trump administration. "The Americans tell us something like this: 'The whole Arab world is against the century plan, all the Europeans are against, the American and Israeli left are also opposed. And now even the right is opposed - so why even carry out this plan ?!' What can they answer to that ?! "

One of the burning controversy points is the issue of maps. For the past two weeks, the heads of the settlers who oppose the plan have been walking around with a map in their hands that depicts one scenario - but according to Likud officials, these are not the plan's maps. "The map that the heads of settlers go around with is not the right map. The prime minister has more than ten different maps, each map has a different scenario, the different maps are meant for talks with the Americans and may eventually take part of a particular map, connect it with another part of another map Something in concert with the Americans. In the meantime, they go around misleading everyone they talk to. "

Likud states that "if Israeli sovereignty is not applied here, it will be solely because of the heads of settlers who oppose the plan. They are crazy. Irresponsible. There would and probably not be such a pro-Israeli government and a sympathetic settlement like this. If it does not happen now "It's a historic miss, and it will only be registered in the name of the leaders of the colonial leadership."

"Let Israel decide"

Meanwhile, senior Republican Senator Ted Cruz last night called on the government to allow Israel to apply its sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, at its own discretion and without restrictions. In response to an article by Jason Greenblatt, a senior adviser to President Trump and one of the Peace Vision writers, Cruz wrote: "Israel is an independent state with the ability to make its own decisions. For too long in the US, they have thought and tried to dictate the terms of the peace." 

Greenblatt himself also expressed himself in an article in the Jerusalem Post about Israel's right to make the move. "This is not Palestinian land but a disputed area, and the only way to resolve it is if both parties can negotiate directly on the settlement of the conflict. But this situation proved difficult to achieve. Therefore, it is Israel's right to annex," Greenblatt wrote.

The last word - Lenz?

Meanwhile, Israel and the United States continue talks on how to implement the sovereignty process in the coming months. US in Israel David Friedman, and more. 

The American side attaches importance to the positions presented by blue-and-white heads, with the desire that the measure be agreed upon by large sections of the public in Israel. This means that Gantz is significantly given the final word on the scope of sovereignty and how it will be implemented. The parties are expected to continue discussions in the coming days. 

At present, the gap between attitudes between blue and white seems to be still large and far from drawing maps. At the same time, the tension between blue-white and Likud is rising. According to a report in News 12 last night, Prime Minister Netanyahu demands that the coalition agreement be amended in the event that the High Court disapproves the agreement after the term of the "emergency government" ends, it will remain in the post of prime minister after the Knesset's dissolution.
