Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, anIsraeli official called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare Israelicontrol over the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem, in the coming days.
Yossi Dagan, head of the SamariaRegional Council (Northern West Bank), has urged Netanyahu and his governmentministers to declare the "application of Israeli sovereignty" overJudea and Samaria, following US President Donald Trump's announcement during apress conference with Netanyahu on Tuesday, where he affirmed that he wouldissue a statement within the next four weeks regarding the annexation of theWest Bank to Israel.
Dagan described Trump's remarks as a"rare moment," emphasizing the need for "historic steps"toward annexing the West Bank. "Victory in the south and north must bematched by victory in Judea and Samaria – settlement here is the defense lineand protective belt for the State of Israel and its central cities. There is nosecurity without our presence here," he explained, referencing the October7 Hamas attack in retaliation for Israel's ongoing violence against thePalestinian people.
“The US administration will respectIsrael’s decisions, even if it does not agree with every step, as it aims tocorrect the mistakes of its predecessors,” he noted. “Applying sovereignty isnot only historical justice, but also what guarantees the security of Israel.”
For decades, Israel has occupiedterritories in Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, refusing to withdraw andobstructing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with EastJerusalem as its capital, based on the pre-1967 borders.
While the Gaza ceasefire has been ineffect for two weeks, Israel has intensified its operations in the occupiedWest Bank. Since the onset of the Gaza conflict, violence in the West Bank hassurged, with Israel carrying out near-daily military arrests, killing over 900people—including at least 180 children—and injuring more than 7,370 others.Additionally, violence from settlers against Palestinians and Palestinianattacks on Israelis have escalated.
