One day ahead of the 26th Knesset elections, dozens of cabinet ministers, lawmakers, Judea and Samaria municipal leaders, and rabbis signed a joint declaration conditioning their entry into the next government on the complete repeal of the Oslo Accords. Signatories—including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, and Negev and Galilee Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf—pledged to enforce the cancellation across government resolutions, binding Knesset legislation, and operational field steps, demanding the dismantling of the 'Palestinian' Authority, full Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip, and the active encouragement of voluntary emigration.


One day before polling stations open for the elections to the 26th Knesset, dozens of cabinet ministers, members of Knesset, Judea and Samaria regional council heads, and public figures signed a joint manifesto demanding that the formal cancellation of the Oslo Accords serve as an uncompromising baseline condition in upcoming coalition negotiations. The signatories committed to advancing the annulment across three distinct operational spheres: an official cabinet resolution, binding primary legislation in the Knesset, and on-the-ground executive implementation. The document further calls for the dismantling of the ‘Palestinian’ Authority, the application of full Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip, and the active encouragement of voluntary emigration.

The political initiative aims to establish strategic facts before formal coalition bargaining begins, ensuring ideological and security objectives are embedded in governing guidelines before ministerial portfolios and executive offices are allocated. The signatories said they will no longer accept vague political assurances, insisting that the legal termination of the Oslo architecture be included as an ironclad clause in the founding coalition agreements.

The roster of signatories encompasses prominent figures within the parliamentary right. Among the cabinet members are National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Communications Minister Dr. Shlomo Karhi, Heritage Minister Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu, Negev, Galilee, and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, and Deputy Minister Almog Cohen. They are joined by Deputy Knesset Speakers Nissim Vaturi and Eliyahu Revivo, Internal Affairs and Environment Committee Chairman MK Yitzhak Kreuzer, and MKs Limor Sonn Har-Melech, Tally Gotliv, Zvi Sukkot, Ariel Kallner, Avichay Buaron, Shalom Danino, and Kati Shitrit, alongside municipal chiefs, civic organization heads, and community rabbis.

In the declaration, the officials leveled sharp criticism at the diplomatic frameworks ratified over thirty years ago. “The Rabin and Peres government signed an agreement with the arch-murderer Yasser Arafat, tore territories away from our homeland, divided them artificially into Areas A, B, and C, and transferred weapons to the PLO terror organization,” the letter states. According to the signatories, those historic policy decisions led directly to the establishment of structured “terror armies” in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, precipitating decades of lethal attacks that reached an apex during the October 7 massacre.

While expressing deep appreciation for the current administration’s historic construction and regulatory township milestones across Judea and Samaria, the signatories stressed that long-term security requires a fundamental correction of Israel’s strategic doctrine.

The document concludes with an explicit political pledge aimed at the post-election period. The signatories affirmed that upon securing a national majority in Tuesday’s election,

they will individually and collectively condition their entry into the governing coalition on the total revocation of the Oslo Accords—requiring formal cabinet approval,

legislative enactment, and the full assertion of sovereign governance on the ground to overhaul the region’s operational reality.
