Amid elections: Settlers set revolutionary goal – also in Areas A and B

Settlement activists in the hilltops are setting a revolutionary goal ahead of the elections: official state recognition of settlement in Areas A and B and on private lands in Judea and Samaria. In an interview with Channel 14, the activists explain how they plan to enlist politicians for regularization, taking advantage of the political window of opportunity.

Settlement activists in the hilltops of Judea and Samaria are setting a revolutionary goal ahead of the elections: official state recognition of settlement in Areas A and B and on private lands. In an interview with Channel 14, the activists explain that after four years of prosperity under the right-wing government, they seek to move to the next stage — state regularization. Shalhevet Goldstein from Givat Maoz Esther declares: "We want to step up" and make state institutions back the settlement move. Yehuda Liber from Givat Oz Zion emphasizes that families in the hilltops need basic solutions in infrastructure, education, and security. The activists plan to enlist elected officials through legislative proposals to cancel the Oslo Accords, re-register lands, and expropriations. Naftali Orbach calls on the state to recognize pioneering settlement instead of opposing it. The activists stress the need for an immediate response to daily needs until final regularization.
