Twenty-five lawmakers are spearheading a bill that would extend Basic Law: Referendum to apply to all territories held by Israel, including Judea, Samaria and the country’s territorial waters.

The Knesset Land of Israel Caucus, whose mission is to strengthen Israeli control of Judea and Samaria, is seeking to amend the semi-constitutional law to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Basic Law: Referendum, which the Knesset adopted in a 68-0 vote in 2014, states that a government decision to withdraw from territory under Israeli jurisdiction needs to be approved by a majority in a referendum unless an 80-vote supermajority has been achieved in the 120-member legislature. It applies to territories of the State of Israel within the Green Line as well as to eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
