ISRAEL’s massive new construction plan for Judea & Samaria effective kills the plan for a Palestinian state.

In direct defiance of the world’s idea of a ‘Palestinian State,’ Israel has just committed nearly one billion dollars towards building additional communities in Judea & Samaria (the historic name for sacred Israeli territory before being invaded by Arab armies and renamed the West Bank by Jordan), eliminating the security threat of having another terrorist state (like Gaza) in the sacred heart of Israel’s homeland.

At a time when the world is expecting Israel to be begging for allies to help them fight, this may seem like an insane move. But when you look at what’s going on below the surface, all of this makes perfect sense. Israel is quietly moving in a direction few people ever thought they would, and that direction is quickly shifting the balance of power in the world.

ColumbusJewishNews Israeli Settlements and National Missions Minister Orit Strook called on Monday for building Jewish communities throughout all of Judea and Samaria, including in Palestinian Authority-administered areas. saying “Israel should settle all of Judea, Samaria, including PA-held territory”

Strook, a member of Israel’s Security Cabinet, told Arutz Sheva that the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had reversed what she described as much of the damage caused by the Oslo Accords signed with the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1990s, as well as the 2005 disengagement from northern Samaria.

However, Strook said, “This entire land is ours—not only Area C, but also Areas B and A.” The disastrous 1995 Oslo II agreement broke the disputed territories into three areas: A, B, and C. Area C falls under Israeli jurisdiction, while areas A and B are controlled by the Palestinian Authority. She argued that Jerusalem “needs to take them because they are ours,” adding that the Jewish state “needs to move into Area A.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has led an unprecedented drive to expand Israel’s control of Judea and Samaria, having approved tens of thousands of homes and dozens of new communities in the past three-and-a-half years.
