“In 1967, the occupation of the west bank of the Jordan river was terminated. Judea and Samaria were released and returned to the Jewish people not through force but by the undeniable validity of our natural and historical right to the Land,  stated Likud MK Amir Ohana at the gathering.

The connection the Jewish people holds to these lands is akin to the bond between a child and his mother, and the only way to bring about peace to Israel is to continue building and prospering.”
