The leaders of the Sovereignty Movement: The time has come to Move from Oslo to Sovereignty

Meir elipur

The co-chairwomen of the Sovereignty Movement, Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, react to the conditions of the agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which require a delay of four years in the application of sovereignty.

According to reports, an agreement is now being formulated between Israel and Saudi Arabia. But unofficial sources reveal that one of the conditions of the agreement is a delay of four years in the application of sovereignty.

Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, the co-chairwomen of the Sovereignty Movement, do see the positive side: Both Saudi Arabia and the Emirates view sovereignty as something valuable and important.

However, Katsover claims that we are still bound by the “Mapainik” ( Labor) concept of ‘one more dunam and one more goat’ [Translator’s note: this refers to a tactic of gradual, step-wise accrual of land and assets], which was correct for the days before the establishment of the state but now, we must go to the next level: the lack of sovereignty results in our being perceived as occupiers and the entire world relates to us in this way”.

To those who wonder what the application of sovereignty is, the answer is simple: a governmental decision that a specific area belongs to the State of Israel.

The Sovereignty Movement is now focusing on the application of sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, which enjoys a broad consensus on the Right as well as the Left.

Nadia Matar explains that the movement vehemently opposes the condition to delay demanded by the Saudis, saying: “Why must we sell our mother for a signature on a sheet of paper, whose future is unclear?”

She also mentions the Oslo Accords, the 30th anniversary of whose signing will be marked this September, saying: “The damage that it caused was so great that its repair must be the application of sovereignty.”
