Opinion: Israel’s Rightful Move to Secure Its Future
Israel’s decision to mobilize 60,000 troops to capture Gaza City and to move forward with the formalization of the E1 settlement plan is not only a military necessity but also a historic affirmation of the Jewish people’s sovereign rights in their ancestral homeland.
For years, Gaza has been a launching pad for terror against Israeli civilians. The mobilization demonstrates that Israel will not leave its citizens vulnerable to attacks. By committing significant forces, Israel is ensuring that security is not temporary but enduring. This is a step toward dismantling terrorist infrastructure, restoring deterrence, and re-establishing calm for Israeli families living under constant threat.
On the diplomatic and historical front, advancing the E1 settlement formalization is an overdue assertion of Israel’s rights. The land is not occupied territory but part of the biblical heartland of the Jewish people. For decades, international actors have tried to dictate Israel’s urban and demographic planning, undermining its sovereignty. By pushing forward with E1, Israel is sending a clear message: no foreign power can deny Jewish rights to live and build freely in their homeland.
Critics claim these moves will harm peace prospects. In reality, peace has always failed when Israel’s security was compromised and when Jewish rights were ignored. The combination of decisive military action in Gaza and the strengthening of Israel’s rightful presence in Judea and Samaria provides the foundation for true stability. Only when Israel is secure and sovereign can genuine peace become possible.
This moment marks a turning point. Israel is no longer waiting for others to recognize its rights — it is asserting them. Mobilizing 60,000 troops to defend Israeli lives and formalizing E1 is not escalation; it is survival, justice, and sovereignty.
