This marks the first time since Israel's founding that ultra-Orthodox parties have aligned with secular opposition forces specifically on territorial sovereignty. The 71-3 margin represents unprecedented parliamentary consensus on annexation, far exceeding previous votes on settlement policies. The motion's explicit reference to the October 7 attacks as justification for sovereignty creates a new security-based legal framework for territorial claims.

📰 What Happened
In a rare show of bipartisanship, Israel's Knesset passed a symbolic resolution (71-3) on July 24, 2025, calling for the annexation of Judea and Samaria. The non-binding motion received support from ultra-Orthodox parties and opposition party Yisrael Beitenu, while major opposition forces Yesh Atid and Blue and White abstained. The resolution affirms Israel's 'natural, historical, and legal right' to the territory and calls for immediate application of Israeli law across all Jewish settlements in the region.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The geographic focus on Judea and Samaria (biblical heartland) directly connects to Ezekiel's prophecy of Israel's restoration. The 71-3 vote margin symbolically echoes the 70 elders of ancient Israel plus the three patriarchs. The motion specifically mentions the Jordan Valley, which forms part of the prophetic boundaries in Genesis 15:18. The parliamentary unification of religious and secular parties over this territory reflects Ezekiel 37's vision of the two sticks becoming one. The resolution's emphasis on 'all areas of Jewish settlement' aligns with Amos 9:15's promise of permanent replanting in the land.
