Former Defense Minister and Knesset Member Benny Gantz has expressed clear opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.
In his speech at the Makor Rishon Conference, Gantz emphasized that discussions about a Palestinian state or withdrawals are disconnected from the current security reality. He stated that Israel cannot afford to allow a direct and significant threat to its citizens along any of its borders.
Therefore, he advocates for maintaining security control and operational freedom in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, southern Lebanon, and the Syrian border area. Gantz concluded that anyone discussing the establishment of a Palestinian state or withdrawals is simply out of touch with the security realities.

Senior American General: Without Sovereignty, Another October 7 Could Happen Here
During a visit to Samaria hosted by Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General William "Jerry" Boykin, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, warned that without Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, Israel could face another massacre akin to October 7.
General Boykin, who previously commanded Delta Force and led operations in Mogadishu and the pursuit of Osama bin Laden, stated:
> "There must be no negotiation over Israeli control of the highlands. People without any knowledge or understanding believe that a 15-mile area can be part of your defense, but that's not the case. You and we must stand together and say: we will not accept a two-state solution. It's a ticking time bomb that will explode at some point and already did on October 7. We must recognize that if we don't create a situation where there is sovereignty here, we'll see another October 7."

MK Ohad Tal: The Arab hope to establish a state in place of the State of Israel must be cut off through the application of sovereignty.
Chairman of the Religious Zionist Party Faction, MK Ohad Tal, at the JNS Conference at the Waldorf Astoria: "The application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is the only solution. Contrary to claims from the left, the Palestinians adhere to the path of terror not because they lack hope, but because they have abundant hope—the hope of expelling all of us from here and establishing a Palestinian state in place of the State of Israel. This hope must be extinguished by applying Israeli sovereignty."

Louisiana Congressman Michael Bayham visited the Benjamin Regional Council as the guest of Council Head and Yesha Council Chairman, Israel Ganz. During his visit, he said: "I believe that Israel has the right to settle in the heart of the Biblical Land, in Judea and Samaria. The area is still operating according to Jordanian law and sometimes even Ottoman law, which creates many gray areas and a lack of governance. I support the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria for the benefit of all the residents here - this will lead to the development of roads and infrastructure that will serve the entire population. Louisiana stands by Israel during this complex time." (Channel 7)
