Not "Palestine"

Monday - June 21, 2021 HAPPENED TODAY: 14 Marches Protest Continued Theft of Area C In a massive push to highlight the dangers of a Palestinian seizure of state lands in Area C of Judea and Samaria, activists and community leaders are in the process of holding 14 simultaneous marches this afternoon. Organizers called on supporters of the 'settlement' movement to "stop with their feet illegal Arab control," explaining that the "war for state lands" had moved onto a new level. Council heads from Kedumim, Beit El, Karnei Shomron, Kiryat Arba and Hebron also support the initiative. "It is our duty to do everything legally possible to stop the savage Arab invasion of Area C to stifle Jewish settlement and establish facts on the ground," the leaders said in a joint statement and called on their supporters to join the marches set for 4:30 p.m. "Together we will head out to explore the area, to occupy the space with our feet and demand that the authorities enforce the law in the area out of a deep belief that this land is ours." The marches took place in all regions of Judea and Samaria, including places with illegal Palestinian construction that have long been slated for destruction, such as Khan al-Ahmar. They also marched to Evyatar, the new Yishuv being built on Jewish owned land that was authorized by the Shomron Regional Council which controls the land. READ MORE ON OUR WEBSITE Evyatar: The Next Jewish Community Slated for Demolition Central Command Chief General Tamir Yadai on Sunday rejected the criticism filed by Evyatar residents in Judea and Samaria regarding an order instructing them to evacuate. The criticism was submitted by the residents alongside a construction plan aimed at preventing evictions. This means that as of next week, security forces are expected to start evicting the residents and begin destroying 40 or so newly built homes. Can Evyatar be saved? Will somebody above the General's pay grade, say, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, order his defense minister, Benny Gantz, to halt the destruction? (Gantz has been quoted as saying he needs no-one's permission to destroy the new Yishuv.) There's also the appeal to the High Court of Justice the residents are preparing. They argue that since the area is being evaluated as part of the process of turning it into state-owned land and as such available for Jewish development, the IDF should wait for the results of the evaluation. What's the hurry? Newly sworn in Prime Minister Bennett certainly has challenging decisions ahead of him when it comes time to rule on the fate of Evyatar. The destruction of Evyatar should be canceled. Any other solution may only be short-term and not in Israel's best long-term interest. Any decision made should be in keeping with the goal of Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. READ MORE ON OUR WEBSITE Yesha Council Calls On Bennett to End Housing Freeze Yesha leaders are urging Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to end the de facto freeze on large-scale building projects in Judea and Samaria maintained over the last few years. In a letter to Bennett, David Elhayani, the chairman of the Yesha Council, noted that five months have passed since any new housing permits were issued for Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria. "Mr. Prime Minister, the Higher Planning Committee has not convened in the last five months to advance or permit housing plans in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley," Elhayani wrote. "We request that the residents of Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley not suffer or be discriminated against in any matter regarding the advancement of plans. There are many housing plans which have been waiting a long time for approval. Therefore, the Higher Planning Committee should be convened as soon as possible to advance them." Yes, the status quo maintained over the years permitting construction should resume immediately. Any delays to expand housing in Judea and Samaria - legally owned Israeli land - only hurts the residents who live there and there's no reason to hold them in limbo.
