Nili Naouri, who heads the Israel Forever movement, the leaders and initiators of the special event, note that “sovereignty in the Jordan Valley is a necessary step for both the security, strategic and internal security aspects of the future of Israel, as expressed by prime ministers over the years, leaders of both Right and Left, which illustrates the broad national consensus behind taking the step of sovereignty in this area. Sovereignty in the Valley also does not constitute a demographic threat to the Jewish character of the State of Israel”. In their remarks, they mention the fact that sovereignty in the Jordan Valley was one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign promises in one of the recent elections and one of the personal declarations of commitment and policy made by the head of the National Unity party, former Defense Minister MK Benny Gantz. “We are at a time of rare historic and political opportunity to take the step and restore Israel to a Zionist momentum of settlement, security and sovereignty with a broad political consensus” say the organizers.
