This marks the first time Israel's governing party has formally petitioned to assert sovereignty over biblical Judea/Samaria since the Abraham Accords era began. The timing - coming after both the Oct 7 attack and recent normalization efforts - represents an unprecedented convergence of security concerns with historical claims. The specific statistic of 21% Israeli support for Palestinian statehood reflects a historic low.
Israel's Likud Rejects Two-State Plan: Biblical Heartland at Crossroads
📰 What Happened
Israeli Likud cabinet ministers and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana have signed a petition urging formal Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria ahead of Netanyahu's Washington visit. The move signals rejection of the two-state solution, with only 21% of Israelis now supporting Palestinian statehood. The petition cites Gaza's transformation into a terror base after withdrawal and emphasizes that Judea/Samaria comprises 25% of Israel's territory and 80% of biblical events.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The technological dimension of modern territorial control systems enables unprecedented fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecies about Israel's restoration. Modern surveillance, border control, and security infrastructure make it possible to effectively govern these territories in ways impossible in previous eras. The petition's emphasis on Judea/Samaria containing 80% of biblical events aligns with prophecies about Israel's final restoration to specific geographic locations. The ability to precisely map, monitor, and control these territories through digital means enables the kind of sovereignty described in end-times scenarios.
