The US Congress will consider the ban on the ban on calling Judea and Samaria “Western coast”

Congresswoen from New York Claudny Tenny said that she intends to return to the House of Representatives a bill, which undertakes the US state instances to use the term Judea and Samaria, and not the Western Coast.

Tenny said the initiative was supported by US President Donald Trump. “He said that for him this is a priority question. Our goal is to guarantee that we will always protect the historical homeland of Jews, and this is Israel, Israel, which includes Judea and Samaria,” Ynet quotes.

In the Senate, the bill is promoted by the representative of Alaska Tom Cotton. “The historical and legal rights of Israel to Judea and Samaria have millennia. The United States should abandon the politicized term“ West Coast ”when it comes to the biblical heart of Israel,” Algemeiner quotes his statement.

Opponents of the initiative say that the adoption of the law will further complicate the achievement of constant settlement based on the principle of two states. They also note that after the ban on the use of an internationally recognized term 3.5 million Palestinians will not disappear anywhere.
