Samaria Leader Warns World Leaders: Attacking Settlements Endangers West
Hundreds of leaders from 70 countries visited Israel and the Samaria region, where Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, addressed them. Dagan strongly criticized recent sanctions imposed by European nations, including the Netherlands and Britain, against Jewish businesses in Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem, calling them "scandalous and even a crime."
He warned that the establishment of a "Palestinian state" would threaten not only Israel's security but also that of the United States and Europe. Dagan argued that radical Islamic terror, from Tehran to Ramallah, views Western nations as the "big devil" and Israel as the "little devil," implying that attacks on Israel are a prelude to broader threats.
Dagan referenced the 2005 disengagement from Gaza, stating that the promise of Gaza becoming a "Singapore of the Middle East" resulted in the October 7th attacks. He presented two options for the future: economic sanctions and a "Palestinian terror state" leading to further massacres, or Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
He highlighted the ongoing efforts to re-establish communities in northern Samaria, noting the construction of 19 new settlements and the opening of a kindergarten on Mount Ebal, near the altar of Joshua. Dagan concluded by thanking Israel's supporters worldwide and urging the public to participate in the upcoming "March of Samaria" to support the renewed settlement movement.
