Yesterday, representatives of the Sovereignty Movement joined an inspiring tour with the Habayta Movement, led by Yehoshua Sherman and Eliav Libi—two bereaved fathers who transformed personal tragedy into a force for national renewal.
In the Habayta Movement and its leaders, we found true partners in the struggle for Israeli sovereignty. They are leading a revolution—both in public awareness and on the ground.
Their revolution in public awareness lies in opening our eyes to the fact that nearly 80% of the Areas A, B, and C consists of open, uninhabited land—vast spaces calling upon us to settle them and apply Israeli sovereignty. *During the tour, Yehoshua, Eliav, and Yisrael took us to several observation points from which we could see hundreds of thousands of dunams of open land in Areas A and B.
Their practical work on the ground is equally remarkable. Through the establishment of pioneering farms, they already exercise stewardship over approximately one million dunams.
The goals of the Habayta Movement are the same as ours: to bring an end to the Oslo Accords, abolish the artificial division of our homeland into Areas A, B, and C, and advance Jewish settlement and Israeli sovereignty throughout the Land.
The question of the Arab population should be addressed separately from the question of sovereignty. Israeli sovereignty must be applied, and Jewish communities should be established throughout all the open areas.
This was a deeply empowering tour, made even more meaningful by Yehoshua Sherman and Eliav Libi’s account that the inspiration and determination to act came from their sons. The younger generation rejects the failed Oslo concept, which could ultimately bring upon the State of Israel a security disaster even greater than that of October 7.
A new generation has arisen—a generation that did not grow up with Oslo and totally rejects Oslo. It is a healthy generation, deeply connected to the Land of Israel, knowing that the entire Land belongs to the Jewish people. It refuses to be confused by administrative decrees or military bureaucracy. It simply declares the truth: The entire Land of Israel is ours.
Our path is inspired by last week’s Torah portion, Mas’ei: “You shall take possession of the land and settle in it.” The Ramban explains that “you shall take possession – vehorashtem” means exercising sovereignty. No other nation should rule this land. Our attachment to the Land stems from an absolute ideal—from unwavering devotion to the Divine command.
Thank you, Eliav. Thank you, Yehoshua. Thank you, Yisrael, for leading us today along the paths of sovereignty.
We call upon the Government of Israel to apply Israeli sovereignty and establish Jewish communities throughout all the open areas of Judea and Samaria—before the upcoming elections. The Land of Israel is calling us.
