MK Ayelet Shaked (Yamina) has criticized the government for its decision to postpone the application of sovereignty in Judea in Samaria, in return for the normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE.
"I wish to thank US President Donald Trump for this historic normalization treaty with the United Arab Emirates," Shaked said. "We are delighted at the arrival of Regent Mohammed bin Zayed in Jerusalem. Israel has a true friend in the United States, but to my distress, the Prime Minister does not know how to make the best use of this."
Shaked added that, "Today, the State of Israel lost an amazing opportunity to apply sovereignty [in Judea and Samaria]. The Prime Minister should have displayed leadership and instead written a far more significant achievement into the history books, one far more important for the State of Israel and the Land of Israel. But we will yet reach that long-awaited day when instead of selling us illusions, we apply sovereignty," she concluded.
