GERUSALEMME - Il governo israeliano si è spaccato oggi
quando una commissione ministeriale ha approvato in via preliminare una
bozza di legge che prevede la estensione della legge israeliana agli
insediamenti ebraici nella valle del Giordano.
Otto
ministri hanno votato a favore e tre si sono opposti: fra questi la
negoziatrice Tzipi Livni secondo cui la iniziativa è "irresponsabile".
L'assetto definitivo nella valle del Giordano è una delle questioni più
spinose nei negoziati con i palestinesi.
ANP , annessione valle giordano 'fine processo pacè La
annessione ad Israele della valle del Giordano significa "la
distruzione del processo di pace e degli sforzi negoziali condotti dal
segretario di stato Usa John Kerry". Lo ha affermato il negoziatore
palestinese Saeb Erekat, in dichiarazioni riportate da Maariv. La
estensione della legge israeliana agli insediamenti ebraici lungo il
Giordano "è incompatibile col diritto internazionale", ha aggiunto.
The Ministerial Committee on Legislation approved
today a bill initiated by Likud MK Miri Regev calling for the annexation
of the Jordan Valley and transferring the area to be under full Israeli
sovereignty, in contrast to the American proposal for security
arrangements in the framework of the negotiations with the Palestinians.
The bill passed with a majority of
8 Knesset members supporting it, with three opposed. Both Israeli
Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Israeli Justice Minister Tzippi Livni
are expected to oppose the bill, believing that it will harm the
political negotiations with the Palestinians and adversely affect
Israel’s public image.
During a heated discussion,
Israeli Justice Minister Livni personally attacked the bill’s sponsor:
“I have no respect for the bill or those who made it.” Israeli Interior
Minister Gideon Sa’ar stated in response, “Who made you talk like
that?” MK Miri Regev stressed, “The law was approved just when the
government is negotiating with the Palestinians is a statement that the
government decided that the Jordan Valley is a strategic asset of Israel
and forever will remain a part of Israel.”

“The purpose of the law is simple,” Regev told Arutz Sheva. “To
ensure that the current government of Israel continues to maintain
Israel’s eastern line of defense, as every previous government has
done. Just to remind everyone, there was opposition to imposing Israeli
sovereignty on the Golan region, but the sky didn’t fall when it
happened,” she said.
“It’s no secret that the towns in the Jordan Valley have tremendous
importance in terms of defense and strategy… Ultimately, we have a
responsibility to the citizens of Israel,” Regev declared. “Not every
round of negotiations has to end with land concessions and forcibly
evacuating Israeli towns,” she added. “If this continues, eventually
we’ll end up with just central Tel Aviv.”
