Right-Wing Missed Historic Chance for Sovereignty in West Bank

The Sovereignty Movement criticizes the Israeli government for missing a historic chance to apply sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, focusing instead on settlement expansion.

They believe a decisive political move is needed to secure Israel's future and governance, both in the territories and within the Green Line.
