Discussion on UK Government's Economic Policy
Good to see you this evening. Be interesting to get your thoughts on,
uh, Diana's
report there, and the fact that the UK government has told UK
firms not to engage in economic activity with
West Bank settlements.
Well, I think we saw another, uh, one-sided, uh, uh,
report. Unfortunately, it's not the first time we see it coming
from Sky News,
and that ignore the, the entire facts. Uh, we have rights to the land.
It's not occupied land. This is, uh, our land.
Yeah, I can go back to the British, uh, uh, mandate for Palestine or the
Balfour Declaration, and basically, we have legal rights to the land.
We have historical rights to the land. We even have biblical rights to the land.
So to call us settlers in our own land, uh, it's
a disgrace. You know? But let's look about the fact
and about the future.
The Jewish community in Judea and Samaria are not going anywhere.
They would stay there with the Palestinian communities.
The question what you do to allow both communities to
prosper, to live in stability, in security, and I
think, uh, all the talk we hear now coming from the
UK and other European
countries, you know, applying sanctions or threatening the Israeli
government, it's not gonna actually support what's
happening on the ground.
The bottom line, you have more than two million Palestinian
living in
Judea and Samaria. You have more than half a million Jews who
live
there, cities, communities. Not the outpost you just show in your
report. I'm talking about families, communities, big
cities, um, and they will stay there.
The question is what we do to make sure that both populations live
safely there.
Yeah
