Security Considerations and National Unity Require Jordan Valley Sovereignty

The American peace plan provides a historic opportunity to break the futile paradigm based on the 1967 lines and ensure Israeli national security for the long term. In terms of security – protecting Israel, stabilizing Jordan, and preventing a terrorist takeover of a future Palestinian entity – and given the supreme importance of national cohesion, it is imperative to focus on the Jordan Valley and the Jerusalem envelope.

How worried should Israel be about the Arab response to its extended sovereignty bid?
Prof. Efraim Inbar: Palestinian opposition to an extension of Israeli law to the Jordan Valley is irrelevant.

The Security Border Israelis Want

Jordan Valley settlements were established by the Labor Movement,
