Like Naftali Bennett's statement at the cabinet meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel about the continuation of the submarine deal, so too about the Defense Minister's decision to register about 4,000 residents in the Palestinian population registry - no one knows the reason for the decision.
But at least with regard to Defense Minister Bnei Gantz's decision, it can be said with certainty that this is the right decision.
This is the minimum that the State of Israel owes to residents who are potentially citizens of Israel.
Do not worry, they will not be citizens of the country for the next century.
But the right in Israel stands in principle on the determination that all areas of the Land of Israel up to the Jordan can legally be included in Israeli sovereignty;
Therefore, even all the Arab residents who did not come from countries outside the border, may one day become citizens of the state.
At this point, the situation where there are thousands of people under the umbrella of blue-and-white and they are statusless, is unbearable;
They are unregistered and undocumented, as if they had strayed from the Hijazi railway and landed in our territory.
In this case, these are residents who are under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
So the argument that this is a humanitarian operation is a bit exaggerated.
This is a minimum step required of a state towards people who have been in its areas of rule for decades, and at least 14 years.
It is often claimed against Israelis that they do not know what is being done on their behalf in the territories.
This is usually not true.
Israeli citizens know about the activities of the IDF and the security forces, even those that are not acceptable in Western countries; this is because Israel prefers to exist with minimal security over the wading in the imaginary world of progress and human rights without borders.
But here, it sometimes turns out that there are things happening in the territories of Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, and a large majority of the public does not know about them. For example, the existence of thousands of people who are of a special and unacceptable presence Condition it on any act of reciprocity.
Of course, it would have been better for the aid money for the terrorists and their families to be transferred by Abu Mazen to those thousands who lack identity and status, who will now enjoy permanent status.
No one will wait any longer with an anxious expectation that they will take the Peklach on their backs and cross the Jordan at night.
