Local Beit El council head Shai Alon responded to Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz's promise to annex the Jordan Valley.
Alon noted that while Gantz may be taking a step in the right direction to strengthen the Land of Israel, he is relinquishing the remaining parts of Judea and Samaria. "Jewish history, its beating heart and the paths trodden by our forefathers are situated in Judea and Samaria. It is unfortunate that Benny Gantz and his party have given up on greater Israel."
Alon warned that relinquishing the other areas of Judea and Samaria will cause Kfar Saba, Raanana and Gush Dan residents to become "closely acquainted with their bomb shelters."
