David Friedman, Trump's top advisor, came out against claims that Jewish rule in Judea and Samaria would hurt the rest of Israel's Jews by diluting the Jewish character of the country.
"Right now, 75% of the population within the Green Line is Jewish," Friedman said, in a video publicized by Channel 2. "There are 400,000 Jews in Judea and Samaria, as well as another 400,000 in eastern Jerusalem. And it's funny, but the Arab birthrate is declining."
According to Friedman, there is a trend of Arabs leaving Judea and Samaria, with their names remaining on the property deeds.
"So if you ask 10 different statisticians how many Arabs live in Judea and Samaria, none of them will be able to give you the correct answer. It could be that no one knows," he said.
"According to most calculations, if you take all of Israel, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, and you include all of Judea and Samaria, Jews will make up at least 65% of the population," Friedman noted.
He also added that, "The claim that if Jews rule Judea and Samaria, the State of Israel will no longer be a Jewish state is not true. That's not what the numbers are showing. If we look at the numbers, it'll be obvious that the idea that we have to give up Judea and Samaria in order to keep Israel's Jewish nature is simply not true."

but America has to be an international nation of illegal immigrants from the “crazy middle eastern countries,” Mexico, South America, Asia and Africa. Uh, makes sense. Not
My grandmother was an illegal immigrant, and she’s got the records of her stay at Ellis Island to prove it./sarc
My mother was so unhip to what they do today. She came into the country legally from Scotland, worked very hard and got her citizenship and THEN married a US citizen. I was like ma, what are you kidding me? All you had to do was sneak in or overstay your visa and then pay some dude to marry you.
Realistically, I think it’s just a matter of time before Israel takes over all of historic Palestine. They aren’t going to give up the West Bank, they would be nuts to do that, and Gaza is just a big refugee camp. They need to start a fund to just pay Palestinians to leave, and assert control over the whole area.
Damn straight.
The problem is that no Arab country wants the Palestinians. Only the Jews are expected to take in the Arab world’s outcasts. The irony here is that the Jews would take them if they’d quit blowing people up.
I’m quite sure that Israel could work a deal with any number of countries to take them. If Germany alone can take in a million refugees from Syria in one year, between all of the Arab world, all of Europe, all of the Western Hemisphere, surely there can be enough space for a couple of million Palestinians, and that’s all that it would take to ensure Jewish majority for a long time to come.
