After repeated attempts that began as early as 2007, the bill to repeal the "Secession Law" passed today (Wednesday) in preliminary reading with a majority of 62 against 36 opposed.
Repeal of the law will return control of the territory to Israeli hands, will allow the right enshrined in law to freedom of movement in the northern Samaria area and will also allow settlement there.

The initiator of the law, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, MK Yuli Edelstein: "While we are dealing with important things, an even more important process is taking place under our eyes. The Palestinians, with the encouragement and support of the European Union, are biting into Area C and determining facts on the ground. See what has been happening for years with Khan al-Ahmar.
"The solution is settlement in the Yush territories.
We need to go back and lead the construction in all the regions of the homeland and provide the infrastructure for the residents who determine with their bodies and homes the borders of the State of Israel.
The people chose not only the legal reform, but a right-wing government that can make history and shape the face and borders of the State of Israel forever."

Edelstein added, "This bill seeks to correct one of the greatest injustices in the history of the State of Israel - the unilateral secession and the abandonment of the homeland to the scheming hands of the enemy. Repeal of the secession law will return control of the territory to Israeli hands, will allow the democratic right of the residents of Israel to exercise the law of freedom of movement in the state of Israel." Israel will save the settlement in northern Samaria."
"I thank my friend Minister Orit Struck and my friend Yossi Dagan for their partnership and great support in this initiative of mine. Together, all of us, we will change the face of the State of Israel and secure its future for generations. We gave up territories - we received missiles, we will return territories - we will receive life."
