Otzma Yehudit: Transfer of territory to Russian church violates sovereignty

The Otzma Yehudit Party has responded to an aspect of the negotiations for the release of Naama Issachar, the Israeli woman being held in Russia for a drug conviction, by saying, "There are things we must not give up. Transferring territory from the State of Israel to the hands of the Russian Church is a serious violation of the sovereignty of Israel, and we must not ignore it."
