Advocates for the Land of Israel are lobbying the Likud party ahead of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's February trip to Washington DC to meet with newly inaugurated President Donald J. Trump.
Activists from the Women In Green, a pro-Israel organization which supports the application of Israeli law over Judea and Samaria, canvassed among lawmakers and party leaders at this week's conference of Likud members in Eilat, dubbed the "Likudiada".
Women in Green co-chair Nadia Matar spoke with Arutz Sheva at the Likudiada regarding the Prime Minister's upcoming trip to Washington, and the growing movement to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
"These are very crucial days," said Matar. "We have the new Trump administration; we have, unfortunately, Amona and Ofra, which are God forbid, [slated to be] destroyed... [and] we must have the Prime Minister get his strength before his [planned February] trip that the people of Israel want sovereignty. The people of Israel expect our Prime Minister not to ask for a little bit, for a few crumbs, but to ask and say what Israel wants. Israel wants to dream big. Israel wants Eretz Yisrael."
Earlier this month, Land of Israel Lobby Chairman Yoav Kish (Likud) proposed a bill to annex Maaleh Adumim, the third largest Israeli community in Judea and Samaria.

There is no time to do that. Why would you want it?
Pinging the End Times ping list
‘Now is the time to annex Judea and Samaria’
The clock is ticking closer to that time , keep looking up , things are falling right into place:)
(Zechariah 12:6) In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
(Zechariah 12:7) The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
(Zechariah 12:8) In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
(Zechariah 12:9) And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
(Zechariah 12:10) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
[[There is no time to do that. Why would you want it?]]
Why would they not want to annex their cities and neighborhoods in Judea and Samaria ?
All it it means those area fall under direct Israeli control instead just being the sitting ducks that are right now .
Will they allow everyone who lives in Judea and Samaria equal rights with everyone else who lives in Israel?
[[Will they allow everyone who lives in Judea and Samaria equal rights with everyone else who lives in Israel?]]
All Israeli citizens have equal rights.
They won’t take it all back at once .
They have Israeli cities there that under no ones real control , that what they will start annexing .
The Palestinians sham of of a government is close to imploding .
trump will bring peace to the middle east...
Amen! All of Israel belongs to YHVH; He has given it as an inheritance to His people, all the tribes and sojourners of Israel. Amen.
Trump will not bring peace to the Middle East. Trump cannot bring peace to the Middle East. Only Israel and the Palestinians can do that. And as long as the goal of one is the complete destruction of the other then that isn't going to happen.
watch. and learn. his backing of israel will bring peace.
News to me that Israel seeks the complete destruction of the Palestinians. That the Palestinians seek the complete destruction of Israel is manifest: it’s in their political charters, and frequently and proudly proclaimed by them.
Great question. But the excerpt from the article is not clear. Are the Women In Green advocating the annexation of all of Judea and Samaria, or of just certain Israeli settlements in those regions?
If the answer is "all", then your question becomes very important. Because if equal rights are granted, the new Arab "Israelis" would gain freedom of movement throughout all of Israel. That would be a real security issue.
And if equal rights are not granted...that strategy didn't work out too well for South Africa.
That would be news to me, too. I was referring to the other way around.
Why not? No time like the present!
Annexation means full citizenship for people in the territory involved. That’s the definition of annexation.
Israel already has as much de facto control as it wishes to exert.
Take it all and leave no prisoners.
And get the Capitol to Jerusalem. What’s the hold-up?
Annex?
Like Russia did with Crimea?
Or is it like China did with the islands and reefs in the South China Sea?
Exactly, Israel has a demographics problem already.
Judea and Samaria are a necessary part of Israel.Formal annexation, however, is not a good idea until the Moslem population is removed. That should have been done in 1967 or, with more diplomatic difficulty, in 1972. Now with Jordan and Egypt being semi allies that is much more difficult. There is really no place to send the Mohammedans of J&S and no way to incorporate them into Israel except as political and eventual physical suicide of the non Moslem population.
