“The fight against the Arab takeover of the open areas in Judea and Samaria is one of the urgent and important challenges that the next government must address and is one of the main reasons for my demand to receive the authority for this in the Ministry of Defense.”
Israel’s Channel 13 News team on Monday night exposed a shocking document by the European Union revealing a plan to meddle in Israel’s sovereign affairs by secretly helping the Palestinian Authority seize land in Area C.
The six-page document was written at the European Union’s mission in eastern Jerusalem and describes how the EU plans to further expand the Palestinian Authority presence in Area C, which is territory that is under full Israeli legal and security control in accordance with the internationally-recognized Oslo Accords.
The targeted areas are those over which Religious Zionism party head MK Bezalel Smotrich has demanded authority in recent coalition negotiations. Part of the document that was defined as “secret” was written a few months ago. Here are its main points:
* The European Union seeks to strengthen the Palestinian presence in Area C.
* The European Union will work to map the lands in the territories – not necessarily by itself, but rather through leftist organizations.
* The goal: to prove Palestinian Authority entitlement to the land.
* The EU calls to ‘follow and monitor’ Israeli archaeological activity in the field. The reason: this activity is used by Israel to justify its hold on lands in Judea and Samaria. [To read the full article, click here]
