The citizens are the only thorn in the side of the settlements..!!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied that he had made any commitment to Washington regarding the settlement freeze. In a brief statement issued by his office, he stated that, contrary to all reports, there has not been and will not be any settlement freeze. He personally said in an interview with American television that his vision of resolving the conflict is with The Palestinians include giving them an entity without sovereignty while Israel retains all its settlements. At the same time, details of a settler plan were confirmed for imposing “Israeli sovereignty” on the Jordan Valley, building hotels north of the Dead Sea, and establishing a tourist city there.
In the meantime, lands were leveled, thousands of trees were cut down, and Palestinian vehicles were confiscated. The settlers staged a provocative march in the Old City of Jerusalem, and the occupation authorities closed a number of lanes and streets in order to enable these settlers to carry out their provocative march.
It is clear and known that had it not been for the presence of our people in the West Bank, they would have stolen it completely and declared it part of Israel, because this Palestinian national presence is the strong thorn in the side of this occupation and makes it think about its practices and aggressions and makes population density at the forefront of its considerations. His expansionist thinking and geographic ambitions impede the annexation of the entire West Bank.
It is true that we are the weaker party militarily, in strength and in arms, but we remain despite all that, the strongest in existence and in the future, and what is coming for us despite all these challenges and hardships, and history is the best witness to our right and the steadfastness of our positions, despite all the political and military obstacles and complexities we are going through, and we will remain the only strong thorn in the throat of this The abominable occupation, with all its greed and expansionist ideas that are neither legal nor immoral.
