"When we entered politics in 2013 and started talking about applying sovereignty in Area C [of Judea and Samaria], they thought we were a pair of crazies," MK Ayelet Shaked (New Right) noted.
Under the Oslo Accords, Judea and Samaria were divided into three parts: Area A is under full Palestinian Authority (PA) civil and security control. Area B is under PA civil control, while Israel controls security. Area C is under full Israeli civil and security control.
While Arabs live in all three areas, Jews are confined to Area C only, and accidentally entering Area A presents a risk to a Jew's life.
