Minister Yariv Levin has called the expected United States declaration of settlements in Judea and Samaria not being in violation of international law "Another historic step of friendliest administration Israel ever had."

Levin also said, "Recognizing the legality of the settlements in Judea and Samaria is another significant milestone on the way to Israeli sovereignty in all parts of the land of Israel. This is further proof that relations between the US and the Israeli government are stronger and better than ever. It is time that even circles of the Israeli left recognize the fact that the land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel."
