Yossi Dagan: 'Now is a rare opportunity to apply sovereignty in Judea and Samaria'

'
New US administration will respect what Israel defines as critical to its security,' Samaria Governor Yossi Dagan says in response to US president's comments on application of sovereignty.

Samaria Council Governor, Yossi Dagan, responds to US President Donald Trump's remarks during a press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu on the application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, "President Trump's statement is clear and moving – both in regard to the encouragement of immigration from Gaza and the strategic importance of the State of Israel.”

“Such statements have never been made in such a direct and transparent manner. This is exactly the message we are sending to our guests from the US who visit Samaria and stand on the ‘Country’s Balcony,' overlooking Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.

He added: "This is a rare moment in which we have to take historic steps. I strengthen and support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government ministers, and call on them to announce the application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria in the coming days." (Read More)
