Israel is set to meet with Palestinian negotiators later
this week in Jerusalem after several months of no progress. I support the move
by Israel as it is a sovereign country and free to build up real estate within
Israel wherever it pleases. Housing
Minister Uri Ariel made similar comments as he announced plans to solicit
construction bids for settlements in the West Bank as well as Eastern
Jerusalem; Palestinians view both sectors as the core of their country which
does not exist anywhere but in their minds.
Palestinians, misguided by ill-believes and wrong
information, accuse Israel of war crimes in accordance to the Fourth GenevaConvention which is ludicrous. Only desperate and uneducated individuals would
call the construction of a home in a country as a war crime. Palestinians pride
them with the claim they won the West Bank in battle and it now belongs to
them.
The West Bank as well as the Gaza Strip are part of Israel
and Israel has the right to erect peaceful housing projects as well as military
installations wherever in Israel they want. This remains a fact and if Israel
decides to give part of their territory to the Palestinians than they will be
their free choice. The creation of a Palestinian state could either assist
peace and stability in the Middle East or escalate the situation and Israel
needs to be careful. For now I am strongly against such a move until Hamas has
been fully dissolved and denounced by Palestinians.
The release of the 26 Palestinian prisoners, 21 of whom have
been convicted of homicide, drew sharp criticism as well as demonstration from
family members of victims. The promised release of 104 prisoners over a
multi-month period ensured peace talks could be initiated. I am strongly for a
peaceful resolution, but Israel has the right to build homes in tis territories
and is right not to bow to international pressures.
The West Bank as well as East Jerusalem were battle
victories of the Israeli Defense Forces during the 1967 Middle Eastern War from
Jordan. The war is also known as the Six Day War and Egypt, Jordan and Syria
joined forces and were supported by Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Morocco,
Algeria, Libya, Kuwait, Tunisia, Sudan and the PLO.
Israel crushed the belligerents and most of their armies and
established itself as the prime military power in the Middle East and as one of
the prime, if not the prime, military in today’s global arena. Israel has now
the right to build what and where they want within its territories and annex them
as part of Israel.
I look forward to construction projects and we stand by to
provide potential financing for those projects should there be an opportunity.
Terrorist networks such as Hamas and the people who support them need to
understand that the path they have chosen does not lead to a peaceful
resolution.
