Israel’s Knesset passed a non-binding motion on Wednesday declaring its support for extending sovereignty to Judea and Samaria. The motion, which was tabled by coalition and opposition members of the Land of Israel Caucus, passed without opposition. Knesset records showed that 15 Knesset members were present when the motion was put to a vote.
The initiative was spearheaded by Knesset members Simcha Rothman and Limor Son Har-Melech, who co-chair the Land of Israel Caucus, Dan Illouz (Likud Party) and Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu Party).
“With the understanding that these parts of the Land are inseparable from the homeland of the Jewish people, in light of the broad Israeli consensus against a Palestinian state, and to prevent the recurrence of the Oct. 7 disaster—applying Israeli law is a moral and necessary step for security and the realization of the Zionist vision,” the motion read.
