Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in New York with a delegation from the Judea and Samaria Council. The meeting was attended by, among others, the head of the Judea and Samaria Council Israel Gantz and the head of the Samaria Regional Council Yossi Dagan. Netanyahu promised them that he "will raise the sovereignty issue" in his meeting with President Donald Trump, but emphasized that "we must navigate a complex reality." Netanyahu told them: "We have a friendly president, remember the Obama era when he said we wouldn't build even a single brick." In response, they told Netanyahu that this is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to apply sovereignty, also in response to French President Emmanuel Macron's initiative to recognize a Palestinian state and other countries' support for it.
