The West Bank is divided into three areas: Areas A and B are under the PA’s civil control, and Area  C, which makes up 60 percent of the West Bank, not including east Jerusalem, is under Israeli military and civil control. It is presumed that any final-status agreement for a two-state solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict would involve the transfer of portions of Area C to the Palestinians. Netanyahu has repeatedly said he will not uproot settlements, all of which are located in Area C. Last week, US Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly turned down a plan by Netanyahu to allow the Palestinians to build in Area C in exchange for stopping terrorist attacks in Israel and US acceptance of Israel’s right to build in the settlement blocs, which Israel believes will be part of its final borders in any final status agreement.  After hearing PM Netanyahu’s statement, government minister Haim Dagan called on the prime minister to publicly reject the idea of transferring territory to the Palestinians.  To execute such a plan in the midst of a wave of terrorism would be akin to rewarding Palestinian terrorism, Dagan said.  Netanyahu must order the Civil Administration to stop working on such plans, Dagan said.  Please pray that God will never allow any Israeli government to give away one dunam of His Holy Land
