US EditionKatz: Judea and Samaria Expansion ‘Clear Message’ to Macron
- On May 30, 2025, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz visited Sa-Nur, a former Jewish settlement in the northern West Bank that was cleared during the 2005 disengagement, to announce the creation of 22 new Jewish communities in the region.
- This move comes amid rising friction caused by French President Emmanuel Macron’s plans to formally acknowledge a state for the Palestinians, a step that Israel perceives as a threat to its regional control and security.
- Katz described the move as a strong response to terrorist groups and a clear message to Macron, emphasizing that Israel will build a Jewish Israeli state on the ground despite international opposition.
- Katz described the move as a strong reaction against terrorist groups, emphasizing that Israel will not be intimidated or weakened by external threats or sanctions, declaring that such measures will not force the country to surrender.
- The announcement intensified criticism from Western allies, including the UK and Jordan, and suggests Israel will continue settlement expansion as a policy to reinforce its defensive presence in Judea and Samaria.
