In a press conference, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said that:
" President Trump said he will present his century plan, a few days after the election and it is just around the corner. This presents us with a great challenge and a great opportunity to apply Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria and other areas."
"There is one place that Israeli sovereignty can be applied immediately after the elections if Israeli citizens let me. Today I announce my intention to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea after the elections."
