by the Yesha Council, myesha.org.il, translated and adapted by Hillel Fendel

The Land of Israel lobby in the Knesset held a first-of-its-kind emergency session two weeks ago, entitled: "The Illegal Palestinian Takeover in Area C." It will be recalled that the Oslo Agreements divided Yesha (Judea and Samaria) into three areas: Area A, under full Palestinian Authority control; Area B, under Israeli military control and PA civilian control; and Area C, under full Israeli control – where the PA is supposed to have no say at all.

In attendance at the special session were MKs of both the coalition and the opposition, mayors and municipal council heads from Yesha, and activists.
