Home » Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is legal Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is legal May 19, 2020 in Opinion The imperative of practical sovereignty The imperative of practical sovereignty. (Reuters) The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP or DESD), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 13, 2007 by a majority of 144 States with 4 votes in favor and 11 abstentions (A /RES/61/295), recognizes that indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources that they have traditionally owned, occupied, used or acquired (Article 26.1) and that the exercise of these rights should not be subject to any discrimination (Article 2). In accordance with national practice, the legal status and rights of indigenous peoples have evolved and been crystallized in customary international law. For example, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights stated that “there is a norm of customary international law that affirms the rights of indigenous peoples to their traditional lands. The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights has declared that indigenous peoples' land rights are protected and that these rights are "general principles of law." France, England, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and other countries voted in favor of the Declaration. Since 2007, Australia, Canada, the United States of America and New Zealand, which voted against, have officially adopted the Declaration in 2010. In their relations with Israel (which also voted in favor of the Declaration), these States cannot affirm that the Declaration does not apply to Israeli Jews, as such a position would amount to blatant racial discrimination. Under international law, Jews are indigenous peoples, also known as "First Peoples", aboriginal peoples or indigenous peoples of a land called Judea-Samaria, Palestine or the Holy Land, and therefore meet the criteria required by international law. . Jews are an ethnic group that was the original settler of Judea and Samaria 3,500 years ago, when this land was granted to the Jews by the Almighty. The leaders of this world who chose to abstract from history mistakenly called Judea and Samaria the “West Bank” of the Jordan River (which includes Israel) or the “occupied Palestinian territories.” After the Balfour Declaration (1917), the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), the British Mandate (1922), the San Remo Resolution (1920) and the Treaty of Sèvres (1920), international law was created and recognized and They restored the historic rights of the Jews to their lands. The signatories of these treaties and the Mandate (United Kingdom, France, Turkey, Japan, Italy, etc.) are bound by them. In the mandate granted to the United Kingdom in August 1922, the League of Nations recognized "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and the basis for the restoration of their homeland in that country." Thus, the right of the Jewish people to settle in the land of Palestine, their historic homeland, and to establish their State there, is a legitimate right enshrined in international law. The UNDRIP affirms the right of the Jewish people as indigenous people and "especially their rights to their lands, territories and resources." The time has come for Jews to fully exercise their rights. United Nations General Assembly resolutions declaring that the colonization of Jews in Jewish Samaria is contrary to international law are only recommendations and have never led to changes in existing binding treaties. UN Security Council resolutions declaring settlements in Judea and Samaria illegal are not binding. Only the resolutions of Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter are binding on all UN Member States. For example, Security Council Resolution 2334 was adopted on December 23, 2016 by a vote of 14-0. Four permanent members of the Security Council – China, France, Russia and the United Kingdom – voted in favor, the US abstained. This resolution was not adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter. It is not binding. That resolution states that Israel's settlement activity constitutes a "flagrant violation" of international law. It has "no legal validity." This resolution violates UNDRIP, the British Mandate and the other treaties.

  3. of the Jewish people The right to <<settle>> in Judea and Samaria, and Israel's right to annex some parts of Judea and Samaria (part of Palestine) derive from the mandate (Levy Report of July 9, 2012). In accordance with the mandate, the right to annex some parts of Judea and Samaria is a direct consequence of the right of Jews to settle throughout Palestine, that is, in the territory of the 1936 mandate. Article 80 of the United Nations Charter (1945) recognized the validity of existing rights that States and peoples acquired under the various mandates, including the British Mandate over Palestine (1922), and the rights of Jews to settle in Palestine (Judea-Samaria) under those instruments. (Pr. E. Rostow). These rights cannot be altered by the UN. Except as agreed in the terms of the instruments individual administration agreements shall be construed in any way that modifies in any way the rights of any States or peoples or existing international rights to which the Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties. (Article 80, paragraph 1, Charter of the United Nations) In a series of decisions and advisory opinions on Namibia, the International Court of Justice ruled that a League Mandate is a binding international instrument like a treaty, which continues as a fiduciary obligation of the international community until its terms are fulfilled. In the Namibia case, the Court upheld the Security Council's ruling that South Africa had abandoned its rights as a Mandatory Power by failing to fulfill some of its fundamental duties. The mandate survived as a trust, based on the legal principles confirmed by Article 80 of the Charter. Like the South African Mandate, the Palestine Mandate survived the termination of British administration as a trust under Article 80 of the United Nations Charter (Pr. E Rostow). Therefore, there are Jewish rights of <<settlement>> in the so-called «West Bank» (Palestine); It cannot be seriously maintained, as the European Union, Western States, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China and other States do, that the Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria are illegal and that the annexation is contrary to international law. This position is political, not legal. Despite UN resolutions to the contrary, the establishment of Israeli civilian settlements in the West Bank is not incompatible with international law, said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Israel, the Jewish State, as a member of the international community has the right but also the duty to fulfill the mandate that most nations ignored fearing terrorism and the Muslim world, animated by 2000 years of religious hatred and anti-Semitism. One hundred and three years have passed since the Balfour Declaration, 73 years since the rejection of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947, 52 years since the Six-Day War of 1967 and 27 years since the Oslo Accords. The Oslo Accords of 1993 and 1995 were signed but did not lead to peace. The Arab Muslim leaders of Judea Samaria and Gaza do not want peace, they rejected Israel's offer made in 2000 and 2008 to live in peace. The participation of the Palestinian Authority security apparatus in the slaughter of Jews since 1993 is proof, as is the payment of prisoners involved in crimes related to terrorism. Abbas's threats that the Palestinians will provoke an "uprising" after the Bahrain Conference and after Israel applies sovereignty over Judea and Samaria must be taken seriously. Abbas is definitely not interested in peace. Israel has a duty to draw the logical consequences of this behavior and annex all or some of the territories of area C, to ensure the existence of its population within secure borders, and to be able to receive the 6 million Jews who still live in exile, who wish to settle in Israel.

Home » Smotrich in Paris: there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people” Smotrich in Paris: there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people” Smotrich made the remarks at an event in memory of the late Likud activist Jacques Kupfer, who died of cancer two years ago. March 20, 2023 in Government Smotrich in Paris: there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich at a press conference in Tel Aviv on March 2, 2023. (Avshalom Sassoni/Flash90) On Sunday night in Paris, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that “the Palestinian people are an invention that is less than 100 years old.” Smotrich made these remarks at a memorial event for the late Likud activist Jacques Kupfer, who died of cancer two years ago: “Without room for ambiguity, we must spread Jacques' reality that there are no Palestinians because there is no Palestinian people. It is imperative that we tell the truth, without fear of the consequences and without being affected by the duplicity of BDS and pro-Palestinian groups.” Smotrich identifies himself as a legitimate Palestinian In his speech, Smotrich identified himself as Palestinian. “The real Palestinian in my family is my grandfather, who was a 13th generation Jerusalemite. “My ancestors were the first to settle in the Metula area, and my grandmother was born there more than a century ago.” In doing so, he referenced international law and stated that “under the law, a country can be identified by its five defining characteristics: its history, its culture, its language, its currency and its historical leadership. In the beginning, who ruled the Palestinians? Do Palestinians have their own language? Have the Palestinians ever had their own currency? Does Palestine have a long history or a unique culture? There is none.” False rhetoric of the “Palestinian nation” “Some Middle Eastern Arabs have been in the Land of Israel since the period of Jewish aliyah and early Zionism. The Israelites have been wandering in exile for two millennia, but they are finally coming home, and some of the local Arabs are not happy about it. So what do they do? To combat the Zionist cause, they invent a nation and false claims about their ownership of Israel,” the Finance Minister continued. “This is the Elysee Palace, and this is the kind of truth that has to be heard here. The White House in Washington, DC, must also listen to this reality, as must the Jewish people in the State of Israel, many of whom are bewildered. This is the truth, and the world has to know it, because the truth always triumphs,” Smotrich said.
