In a post on Twitter, MK Nir Barkat (Likud) congratulated the PM on his announcement he will apply sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, writing:
"I congratulate the Prime Minister on the historic decision to apply sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and the Northern Dead Sea immediately after the elections. The economic plan that I formulated and supported by the prime minister also touches on the valley and will help the entire region. I hope this is a first step on the road to applying sovereignty to all Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria."
