Ben Gvir to Netanyahu: 'We're not waiting for Europe; sovereignty is an urgent need'

'We don't need to wait for Europe in order to apply sovereignty,' says Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir at the Arutz Sheva and Samaria Council Conference. Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, demands that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately apply sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, regardless of the intention of countries in the world to unilaterally recognize the Palestinian Authority.

At the Arutz Sheva and Samaria Council conference on sovereignty, Ben-Gvir addressed Netanyahu's statement in an announcement with the US Secretary of State that Israel would respond to any move to recognize the Palestinian Authority. "I have a disagreement with Netanyahu on this matter. Sovereignty should not be done because someone did something. We are a right-wing government and we were elected to advance this issue. We do not need Europe to do anything for us to apply sovereignty. 

Applying sovereignty should be done because it is the right thing to do, because this is our land and our home. We need to say this to the whole world." He added, "We are doing what is best for the State of Israel. Living in the Land of Israel, as the Torah commands us, involves sovereignty. Therefore, I say to Netanyahu, sovereignty must be done even without one threat or another. This is an urgent need."  (Read More)
