What happened to 'sovereignty for Israel'?



July 1, 2020 was to be an historic day for Israel. For months, Israel's leadership talked about applying sovereignty to parts of Judea-Samaria, including the Jordan River valley.

Well, July 1, 2020 has come. Now, it's gone. So, it appears, is talk of sovereignty. 

Sovereignty didn't happen on July 1. In fact, nothing happened on July 1. Nothing.

That was last week. Today, July 5th, nothing has changed. The order of the day for sovereignty is still "Nothing". The only real news we've heard about this "sovereignty" move is that it's just not "practical" at this moment (here). 

Last week, "not practical at this moment" wasn't part of Israel's official "sovereignty talk". Suddenly, it's all Israel can say?

Instead of sovereignty, today's headlines in Israel are about a surge in new cases of conoravirus. Israel seems close to another lock-down--or, maybe not. We wait for more information from our esteemed leadership--a leadership which, by the way, appears to have dropped talk of "sovereignty" as if the word had never been uttered.  

Sovereignty?  What sovereignty? 

Who cares about sovereignty? Israel is talking about corona (here)--and two secret attacks against Iran, in Iran. 

One attack was a cyber attack against Iranian nuclear facilities. There have also been three or four other "explosions" in Iran. There was a report of what appeared to have been a missile attack against an Iranian 'installation'. No one knows. No one reveals anything. Israel remains mum.

Sovereignty? What sovereignty? Was someone talking about sovereignty?

Was all this talk of "sovereignty" just a joke? If it was, I don't see anyone laughing.
