Far-right lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich said Sunday that the Palestinian people were “an invention” from the last century and that people like himself and his grandparents were the “real Palestinians.”

Speaking in Paris at a private memorial service for prominent right-wing Likud activist and Jewish Agency board member Jacques Kupfer, who passed away after a long battle with cancer in 2021, Smotrich said there was “no such thing as Palestinians because there’s no such thing as the Palestinian people,” a comment that was met with applause and cheers from attendees, as seen in a video from the event posted online.

“Do you know who are the Palestinians?” asked the head of the ultranationalist Religious Zionism party and Israel’s finance minister. “I’m Palestinian,” he said, also mentioning his grandmother who was born in the northern Israeli town of Metula 100 years ago, and his grandfather, a 13th-generation Jerusalemite, as the “real Palestinians.” Smotrich was speaking from a podium that featured a map of “Greater Israel” that included the territory of modern-day Jordan, in accordance with hardline aspirations by some early Zionist groups.

Smotrich has a history of making inflammatory statements against Palestinians, Arab citizens of Israel, non-Orthodox Jews, and the LGBTQ community including once declaring himself a “proud homophobe.” In 2021, he said David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, should have “finished the job” and kicked all Arabs out of the country when it was founded. Earlier that same year, he said members of Israel’s Arab minority communities were citizens “for now at least.”

NY Congress Member Introduces Bill Recognizing Yehuda and Shomron As Part of Eretz Yisroel.

A bill recently introduced in Congress, by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), aims to change the status quo. The new bill would force the State Department to use the term "Judea and Samaria" instead of the “West Bank.”

A new bill recently introduced in Congress, by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), The Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act, aims to change the status quo. Since the Six-Day War, the U.S. Government hasn’t recognized the name of the Yehuda and Shomron, (secularly known as Judea and Samaria) region. Rather it uses the term “West Bank,” which implies that the region is Jordan’s and not historically part of Eretz Hakodesh.

The new bill, which is co-sponsored by Representatives Randy Weber (TX-14) and Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04 representing the Five Towns Frum Kehilla), would force the State Department to use the term “Judea and Samaria” instead of the “West Bank.” The term Yehuda and Shomron dates back millennia to the Eretz Yisroel. In 1967, after Israel’s Arab neighbors launched the Six-Day War, Israel reclaimed it from Jordan. The term “West Bank” is used to delegitimize Israel’s historical claim to this land. In November 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the United States would formally recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, Yehuda and Shomron.

Recently, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reversed this position, stating the Biden administration’s disappointment in Israel’s recent decision to expand its Yishuvim in the region. This condemnation comes in spite of the fact that under the Oslo Accords, Israel was granted full military and civilian control over the majority of Yehuda and Shomron. “The Israeli people have an undeniable and indisputable historical and legal claim over Judea and Samaria, and at this critical moment in history, the United States must reaffirm this,” Rep. Tenney said. “The misguided decision by the Biden administration to revoke the Pompeo Doctrine undermines our greatest ally in the Middle East.”

“The Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act” requires all U.S. legal documents to use the rightful term “Judea and Samaria” to refer to this territory instead of the “West Bank.” This bill reaffirms Israel’s rightful claim to its territory. I remain committed to defending the integrity of the Jewish state and fully supporting Israel’s sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.” Rep. Tenney added.
