The Yesha Settlers' Council has pitched a tent outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem to demand “sovereignty now.”
Yesha Council officials said that the tent—which has been dubbed the “sovereignty tent” — should not be viewed as a protest but, rather, should be viewed as expressing support for PM Netanyahu, in addition to being a means of pressure on him to apply sovereignty.
The move came after optimism of a speedy decision to apply sovereignty to settlements along with the Jordan Valley appeared to be fading following opposition from Trump administration officials.
