Israeli sovereignty over all of its land is also clearly necessary for security reasons. There is no knowledgeable person in Israel that would like to see the coastal lowland and heavily populated residential centers of Israeli in Gush Dan or Ben Gurion Airport within range of Arab Palestinian gunfire, which would paralyze Israel’s gate of entry and chase away investors, leading to economic collapse and placing a heavy burden on Israel’s defensive capability. As minister Naftali Bennett said in Sovereignty Journal issue nr 5 of March 2015: “A Palestinian state would cause the Israeli economy to collapse. Ben Gurion airport would be paralyzed, there would be no tourism, no commerce, we would return to the economic collapse of the second intifada and people would flee. The subject of annexation in Judea and Samaria is not a distant vision, but something concrete that is possible to achieve”.
In a controlled and gradual process, after declaring loyalty to the state, the Arabs of Judea and Samaria would be granted the opportunity to serve a request for citizenship. Thus, the principle of democracy will be preserved. A stable, consistent and secure government of Israel would enable these Arabs to enjoy the advanced state of medicine, infrastructure, technology, employment, education and stable economy that exist in the State of Israel – which is more than any Arab state can offer.
The opinions stated above are representative of the position of many members of the government of Israel, and the People of Israel has elected them because they had the inner strength to say these things confidently and proudly. Yes Mr President; the two-state solution is, finally, dead. Now the people of Israel want to promote the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. As a democrat, we expect the president of the United States to honor this and to accept it, even if the results of the elections in Israel do not suit his personal positions.
