July Edelstein: “Applying Knesset Sovereignty – Fast Track”

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein (Wednesday) promised that the Knesset would not be an inhibiting or blocking factor for applying sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.

“The question of whether we are witnessing a historic moment and changing a reality or a plan that will remain a colorful page booklet – is only our decision,” he said.

“I tell the Prime Minister here: If you come back from Washington, and ask to convene the Knesset plenum to exploit the historic readiness of the US administration and to apply Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria – I will enter the plenum immediately,” Edelstein clarified At the Municipal Corporation Association Conference held at the Herods Hotel in Eilat.

“No matter what the criticism is, no matter if there are severe attacks, the right thing will be done. I am sure that in such a rare and one-off situation that we are in it, all the Zionist parties will exaggerate themselves, put the good of the country before their eyes and fail it Momentary political interests, so that we can finally vote in the Knesset for the application of sovereignty – and approve it in a large majority, “the Speaker of the Knesset added.

However, Edelstein emphasized that although he did not believe that the Palestinians would meet the conditions they needed to establish a state, he strongly opposed the establishment of a Palestinian state, the partition of Jerusalem and the freezing of its buildings.
