My friend, President Trump clearly stated that he would recognize Israeli
sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, the northern Dead Sea and all Jewish
communities in Judea and Samaria, as well as a broad
area encompassing them. We have formed an Israeli team to
work with the American team on the work of mapping,
which has already begun ― it is underway.
For their part, the Americans will work with us.
We will complete the work as quickly as possible.
We are turning parts of the homeland in Judea
and Samaria into part of the State of Israel forever.
An Israeli team will convene this week to formulate a plan
to expand areas of cooperation. This is what I agreed on with
the Sudanese President; the goal is ― in the end ― to reach
the establishment of normalization
and diplomatic relations between Israel and Sudan.
We are in the midst of a normalization process with a large number of
Arab and Islamic countries. You only see part of this; it is the tip
of the iceberg above the surface of the water.
Beneath the surface of the water, there are yet many processes
that are changing the face of the Middle East and are also
placing Israel as a regional and global power.
This is the fruit of our policy. We are cultivating
the strength of Israel.
Against expectations, as of now we do not know about any
infections in Israel. Of course, there is this possibility,
but it has not yet happened even though ― according to media reports
― the first case has already reached Egypt.
At the same time, I would like to thank the Minister of Health,
who has worked together with his team to bring the Israelis
on the ship off Japan. Those who have not been
infected ― will come to Israel and enter into isolation.
Those who have been infected are remaining there, in accordance with
a Japanese government decision. We have sent a doctor to help them.
Of course, we are all praying for their wellbeing.
They are really not far from our hearts, we feel their pain, we feel the distress
of the people who are sick, who are in quarantine,
who are fearing and we are opening our hearts more and more so
that God will pity them and fill them full healing.
