In a letter sent to the Prime Minister and members of the Security Cabinet following the entry of the Peace Council into the Gaza Strip, the Sovereignty Movement calls for an immediate halt to the advancement of the "Roadmap" plan. "This framework returns Israel to the security reality that existed before October 7."
Against the backdrop of the Peace Council's entry into the Gaza Strip and the ongoing discussions regarding the political framework for the "day after" the war, the Sovereignty Movement has sent a letter to the Prime Minister and members of the Security Cabinet.
In the letter, the movement calls for the immediate suspension of the 15-point "Roadmap," which it says constitutes the practical implementation of the 20-Point Document. The movement also urges the government to change its strategic direction by advancing Israeli sovereignty and Jewish settlement over Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip in order to ensure a stable security reality and prevent another October 7 tragedy.
The letter opens by stating: "We, the Sovereignty Movement, call upon you to immediately halt the advancement of the 15-point 'Roadmap,' which constitutes the practical implementation of the 20-Point Document. The Roadmap is inconsistent with the war objectives established by the Government of Israel: securing the return of the hostages, defeating Hamas, dismantling its governmental and military capabilities, and ensuring that the Gaza Strip will never again pose a threat to the citizens of Israel. Aside from the return of the hostages (thank G-d), none of the other war objectives have been achieved. Instead of leading to Hamas's defeat, the framework proposes transferring control of the Gaza Strip to a foreign body. Experience has shown that international mechanisms neither disarm terrorist organizations nor prevent their rearmament. This was the case in Lebanon, and there is no reason to believe that Gaza will be any different."
The movement also warns of the security implications of the proposal: "The framework would return the State of Israel to the security reality that existed before October 7 - a reality in which the communities surrounding Gaza lived under constant threat while terrorist organizations rebuilt and prepared for their next attack. After paying the heaviest price in Israel's history since its establishment, we have no right to return to the same failed concept. The 20-Point Document ultimately leads to a 'credible pathway' toward fulfilling the Palestinian aspiration for statehood. This means that the Roadmap is not merely a framework for governing Gaza, but rather a stage in a political process that could lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state—an outcome that would endanger Israel's security, its future, and its very ability to defend its citizens."
