The Sovereignty Movement has welcomed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s decision not to veto and remove the legislation for sovereignty from the agenda, but only to postpone the discussion of it until a later time in the wake of Saturday's aerial exchange with Iranian and Syrian forces.
A statement by the movement said that “precisely now, when Iran has attempted to violate Israeli’s sovereignty, is the optimal time to emphasize our sovereignty.” The statment explained, "Those who make Israeli policy must understand that even a temporary retreat from the enforcement of sovereignty as a response to the violation of Israel’s sovereignty, as happened yesterday, is interpreted as weakness and indecisiveness. In the Middle East, weakness, concessions and indecisiveness only encourage the forces of evil that seek to destroy us."
