In the days when Israel is in turmoil over the vote on the cancellation of the “Reasonableness Clause”, some right-wing activists continue to push other agendas. As part of the settlement leaders' in Judea and Samaria’s desire to initiate a move to apply sovereignty in the Jordan Valley, the members of the "Sovereignty" movement formulated an actual plan that brings legal, security, and settlement solutions to the contested region.

As part of the plan, a number of roads in the area must be expanded immediately, including those that are considered life-threatening. "It is necessary to widen Road 5 from Ariel to Eli, and build interchanges at the connection points with roads 60 and 90," the plan suggests. "When the road system is widened, its use will expand - and it will reduce traffic congestion in other parts of the country."

כרגיל כאן לתת את הטייק הימני שיעצבן את רוב המחנה שלי:
אלה חדשות מצויינות. לא משנה איזה הסדר מדיני יהיה עם ערביי יו"ש, ההסדר יכלול וחייב לכלול את בקעת הירדן בצד שלנו. גם רוב מוחלט של מחנה המרכז שמאל לא מדבר על למסור את הבקעה. מדובר בשטח אסטרטגי חשוב שימנע רצף טריטוריאלי פלסטיני > https://t.co/I8w4Q4X1TN

It was also proposed in the plan to build a new international airport in the area. "The field should be under full Israeli control, and be in the Horkania Valley (in the northeast of the Judean Desert) or near the Allenby crossing with Jordan. It will serve as an alternative to the Atarot airport that was closed in Jerusalem, and also as an alternative to the National Airport instead of the Jezreel Valley and Nabatim that are currently being proposed," the plan stated.

According to the plan, "it will also be able to be used by the Palestinian residents of Judea and Samaria when they leave the country without being required, as is required today, to fly through Jordan. This step will improve their quality of life considerably, and accordingly Israel’s status in the international arena."

Buying time.

Jordan Valley Annexation must move ahead immediately in parallel. Slam it through the Knesset this week.

Also on the topic of tourism, the program presents several different solutions for utilizing the region's unique resources in order to increase the number of tourists entering Israel. Among the proposed solutions are the establishment of a hotel complex also in the northern part of the Dead Sea and the transfer of the management of Qasr Al-Yahud, the site where Jesus was baptized, from the hands of the Civil Administration to a commercial body that will change the service there. It was also proposed to establish another tourist city near the Jordanian border that would be a meeting point for businessmen from Israel, Jordan, and the Gulf countries and would be tax-exempt like Eilat.

The comprehensive plan was formulated by the women of the “sovereignty” movement Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsober and is promoted by the Jordan Valley lobby led by dozens of Knesset members from the coalition and the opposition. The plan was prepared by Kobi Eliraz, who was an adviser on settlement matters to four defense ministers, and attorney Eran Ben Ari, an expert on land and law in Judea and Samaria. They presented the plan to ministers and MKs, in which they detailed the steps towards applying sovereignty in the Jordan Valley.
