The 'Homah L'Yisrael' (Wall for Israel) Forum has released a new informational video warning of a developing security threat in Judea and Samaria. The group is calling for the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and the expansion of Israeli settlements into open areas within Zones A and B, arguing this is crucial to prevent further massacres.
The forum contends that the current policy in the region is creating a severe security threat to local communities and central Israeli cities. This push comes amid political tensions and government formation talks. The forum, along with bereaved parents Yehoshua Sherman and Eliab Levi, has publicly urged party leaders not to form a government reliant on Arab parties they claim support terrorism, warning it could harm Israel's security and perpetuate the failures seen on October 7.
The video references the promises made during the Gaza disengagement, which claimed evacuation would lead to peace and security, but instead resulted in terror, according to the forum. They warn against repeating these mistakes in Judea and Samaria. Settlement and media activist Azri Tobi leads the video, cautioning against complacency regarding regional security threats.
Tobi highlights that Judea and Samaria are 15 times larger than Gaza, with approximately two million Arabs residing there. He claims a hostile ideological infrastructure, similar to Gaza's, exists alongside significant weaponry and tens of thousands of Palestinian police trained by foreign armies. The video also points out the topographical advantage of the Judea and Samaria mountain ridge overlooking central Israel, noting extremely short travel times to Israeli cities and Ben Gurion Airport.
The forum emphasizes that this proximity illustrates the potential danger of a security deterioration, with the separation barrier being the primary divider in some areas. They argue that addressing the threat requires a fundamental shift from the Oslo Accords' approach, advocating for the cancellation of the A, B, and C zone division, which they believe restricts Jewish settlement and defense capabilities.
According to Tobi, there are about 1.28 million dunams of open land in Judea and Samaria. The forum proposes extending the agricultural farm model, currently operating in Zone C, to open areas in Zones A and B. They believe this expansion would strengthen Jewish presence and control without military conflict or granting citizenship to Palestinians. Sherman and Levi stress that this is not just a settlement issue but a national security imperative, rooted in the Zionist principle that where the plow passes, the border follows.
