Netanyahu’s New Government to Settle All Biblical Lands of Israel
“The Jewish people has an exclusive and inalienable right to all parts of the Land of Israel.”
On settling the Land
The policy of Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government includes settling in all the lands of Judea and Samaria.
On Wednesday Netanyahu’s incoming government published a document listing its policy guidelines. Among them is a pledge to foster settlement in all the biblical lands of Israel this side of the Jordan River.
“The Jewish people has an exclusive and inalienable right to all parts of the Land of Israel,” the document reads. “This government will promote and develop the settlement of all parts of the Land of Israel—in the Galilee, the Negev, the Golan Heights and Judea and Samaria.”
The commitment of Netanyahu’s new government to settle all the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria will certainly inspire Christian Zionists and those how believe these lands are God’s promised inheritance to the Children of Abraham.
Others are concerned that pushing the settlements will stir the anger of the Palestinians and the international supporters.

On Jerusalem and a Jewish State
Netanyahu’s policy statement for the incoming government also reinforces its commitment to a united Jerusalem. By law, all of Jerusalem, both the Jewish sector and Arab eastern sectors are part of Israel’s united capital.
The new guidelines promise to “preserve the Jewish character of the state and the heritage of Israel.” Both settling the biblical lands and preserving the Jewish character of Israel are some of the main demands of the Religious Zionist parties and the Orthodox Jewish parties that Netanyahu needed to form a majority coalition and set up a government.
Israel is a Jewish Democracy which means the state will continue to preserve the Jewish character of the country while “respecting the practices and traditions of members of all religions in the country in accordance with the values of the Declaration of Independence,” the policy guidelines read.
Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is scheduled to be sworn in today, Thursday December 29th.

Isn't that what the Balfour Declaration said should happen?
