Veteran American-Israeli journalist Caroline Glick excoriated settlement leaders Wednesday, blaming them for the suspension of the plan to apply Israeli sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria.
Binyamin Regional Council chairman Yisrael Gantz pushed back, however, calling the map presented in the Trump plan for Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria ‘dangerous’.
“Netanyahu told us that the map was only conceptual, and that it would be changed. But from the moment that it became the actual map [for the sovereignty plan] we understood that this was dangerous to the settlement enterprise.”
Gantz added that Israel could still apply sovereignty, even after agreeing to suspend the sovereignty plan.
“Sovereignty is something that could be done today.”
Here's the thing: practically speaking, other than Areas B and C, Yehuda and Shomron are already under Israeli sovereignty. There are some beaurocratic differences between Area A and the rest of the country but bottom line, it's Israel-controlled and run. So why upset the apple cart when there's no nafka mina?
