We are happy to present you with our Sovereignty bulletin # 44, sent to members and supporters of our Sovereignty Movement. You are invited to read, get updated, send us your comments and join:
Dear friends,
Peace and greetings.
It seems that the closer we come to election day, the sharper becomes the message that the Sovereignty Movement has been expressing in recent weeks, and its urgency becomes ever clearer.
A growing number of politicians from the Right camp are now required to state whether they would personally support the formation of a Right-Left government, which would be unable to stand up to the pressures of the American administration and the European Union.
Leaders of the Right camp are coming, one by one, to the understanding that the economic, public health and social struggles cannot be addressed at the expense of, or instead of, values focusing on the Land of Israel, Zionism, sovereignty and settlement.
We must strengthen this trend, continue to demand clear and resolute answers.
We will continue to call on the leaders of the Right camp to internalize their democratic mission to implement the will of the great majority of the people in Israel, which is a strong and stable right-wing government.
When there are approximately eighty mandates for parties that define themselves as right-wing and they transfer the leadership, or half of it, to left-wing and left-of-center parties only because of boycotts within the Right camp, this is a severe distortion of the voter’s will.
A new issue of the Sovereignty Journal is on its way to you
Issue no. 14 of the Sovereignty Journal is now being published. In this issue, you will be able to read interviews with representatives of right-wing parties who are required to answer these questions of loyalty to the Land of Israel, the settlement enterprise and the vision of sovereignty.
The interviewees also deal, soberly and realistically, with the chances of advancing sovereignty during the Biden era, and among other things, you will be able to read an interview with journalist Hodaya Karish-Hazony, who analyzes Israel’s political acts vis-à-vis the Trump administration in an attempt to identify the point where the opportunity to apply sovereignty was missed, as well as raising the very question of whether indeed, it was missed.
The answer that she brings, on behalf of some figures in Washington, are surprising and extremely important.
Another important interview is the one with Prof. Talia Einhorn, one of the most prominent jurists in Israel, who relates to the question of the next government’s commitment to a verbal promise which, according to rumors, was given by Netanyahu to freeze any steps to apply sovereignty.
Read the journal and pass it on to others. The insights and conclusions that arise from it are most important as the Right camp prepares to go to the ballot box.
Women’s leadership for sovereignty
This week, our movement held a special women’s leadership panel that dealt with the long-term view of Israel’s future in terms of sovereignty and the legal reforms that are essential to protect Israel’s democratic character.
The panel was held as part of the Besheva newspaper’s Israel 2030 Conference, where dramatic insights were voiced on matters of sovereignty and the Land of Israel.
Prof. Einhorn related to the decision by the court in Hague to investigate Israel’s conduct in Judea and Samaria and Gaza. According to her, if the Oslo Accords did not exist, we would not have been faced with such an anti-Israeli decision.
Watch the panel:
The overwhelming majority of the people are voting for the Right and the leaders must implement this
Read the article we published in the Jerusalem Post calling on the leaders of the right-wing parties to work for the establishment of a broad and value-based right-wing government that will express the will of the people as it is expressed in all polls: 80 seats for right-wing parties. Only ten seats vote for distinctly left-wing parties.

They are stealing our land
On Wednesday, we participated in a special event entitled “Stop the Abandonment of State Lands!”.
While Israel delays advancing the application of sovereignty, the country’s lands are actually being stolen from us.
Together with other representatives from a number of organizations, we were present at the entrance to Nokdim for a protest demonstration and to call for the protection of the country’s lands from the PA’s systematic, well-planned and synchronized takeover of our country’s lands.
In recent days, the residents of Nokdim discovered that in the area surrounding the town, Arabs had erected 4 buildings – 3 large stone buildings and one shed, all of which were erected soon after the takeover that began with the draining of a nearby wadi and turning it into a road, to illegally expand the surrounding Arab villages.
The buildings were erected within the town’s Blue Line (lands allocated to the town for future building). All of this, along with illegal building that has been carried out for the past year and a half in the area, at a distance of only a few hundred meters from the towns, until now, with almost no action to enforce the law by the Civil Administration, besides delivering referrals and information again and again.
That which is happening in Nokdim is only one example of thousands acts to take over state lands in Area C, organized by the Palestinian Authority with tremendous international funding by anti-Israel states and organizations.
With every passing minute, the People of Israel loses thousands of dunams of land.
They are stealing our heritage
Our movement congratulates the public figures who are protesting against the destruction of Joshua’s altar at Har Eival by the PA leadership. Your call, our call, against the PA’s vandalism of history, the entire purpose of which is to destroy and uproot Jewish heritage from Judea and Samaria, is an ethical and just call of the highest order.
Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria would prevent the neglect of the cradle of the Jewish People’s history by vandals and looters, who seek to rewrite history and invent a people and a heritage from nothing.
Our call to you, leaders of the Right camp, as you are united in condemning the Israeli lack of action against the theft of our history, know how to unite after the elections to form a strong government with a resolute and clear national position that will prevent such acts and will punish those who have already committed them.
The ability that you will demonstrate after the elections to form a broad nationalist government will prove to us, the voting public, that your protest was not just part of an election campaign but true concern for the Land of Israel’s future and a guarantee to protect the Land of Israel’s past.
A light unto the nations
We will conclude with words of hope and prayer for the success of research teams at Ichilov Hospital, who are striving to develop a therapeutic for the Corona virus.
There have recently been an increasing number of encouraging reports on the success of the experiments. Will a therapeutic emerge from Zion and redemption from Israel?
We all believe and hope that the answer to this is positive and will become clear to all very soon. And like countless events in the past, great news will come to the entire world from the People of Israel.
You must not miss this lecture
Join another fascinating and very important lecture as part of the 'Oz ve Gaon' lecture series and this time with the head of the Southern Hebron Council, our friend Yochai Dimri, on the painful and burning issue of the Arab takeover of land in the southern Hebron Hills.
