"An Opportunity That Must Not Be Missed": Pressure from the Right on Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz to Apply Sovereignty
A petition sent to the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister, initiated jointly by the Sovereignty Youth and Religious Zionist Youth, calls on them to implement the Zionist vision and apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria as a key lesson from the war, bolstered by backing from the American administration.
The letter, signed by over 1,000 youths to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, demands the immediate application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. The signatories wrote: “Forfeiting the political opportunity to apply sovereignty would be a disaster for the State of Israel.”
The petition, signed by young people from across the country — including representatives and members from several coalition parties, among them the ruling Likud party — calls on the Prime Minister and Defense Minister to immediately apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. This comes in light of the insights gained from the October 7th attack, the lessons of the war, and the deep, exclusive historical connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel.
The petition, led by the Sovereignty Youth and Religious Zionist Youth, also garnered the support of Likud Youth and the Ariel Movement. More than a thousand youths signed it. The signature campaign was preceded by short videos distributed on social media, featuring prominent coalition figures — including Minister Orit Struck, MKs Simcha Rothman, Tali Gottlieb, Keti Shitrit, and Yitzhak Kroizer — as well as the head of the Yesha Council, Israel Gantz, and its CEO, Omer Rahamim. They all explained the necessity of sovereignty and the significance of this historic opportunity to implement the vision today.
The petition states: “We, the youth from all over the country, strengthen the hands of the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister in these dramatic days, calling on them and all government ministers to rise to the moment and apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and to continue the war for independence in Gaza until the enemy is defeated.”
The youth also wrote to the Prime Minister and Defense Minister: “A golden opportunity lies before us, with the support of the American administration for Israel's firm stance against its enemies. Sovereignty is the pioneering mission of this generation.”
The Sovereignty Movement views the petition as “an expression of the powerful spirit blowing through these days of national remembrance and renewal — a deepening and strengthening connection between the people of Israel and their land. Israel's leadership must listen to the voice of the people, as clearly and resolutely expressed by the younger generation.”
