On his Twitter account, Minister Ze'ev Elkin referred to President Donald Trump's Mideast initiative, stating that it was "an historic day and an undeniably historic period."
He said, "Applying Israeli sovereignty to at least 30% of Judea and Samaria (including the Jordan Valley and all jurisdictions of Israeli communities) immediately, emphatic yes. Establishing a Palestinian state in the heart of the country that will be a terror state and lead anti-Israeli incitement, emphatic no. Blessings to President Trump for resolutely standing alongside Israel."
