- I would speed up the construction and development of new settlements and activities in order to improve the existing infrastructure of Judea & Samaria, and add new ones. The target should be 1,000,000 Jewish residents in Judea & Samaria by the end of 2027, says Maurice Hirsch in a conversation with Jan-Aage on Insight with Pastor Torp.
Hirsch is an orthodox Jew, living close to where Jesus Christ was born just over 2000 years ago, and is the Director of the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform in the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) as well as the former Director of the Military Prosecution for Judea & Samaria.
Hirsch is increasingly sought after as an expert commentator in Israeli media, both right and center.
He tells the story of the swift growth of the Biblical heartland since the unification of Jerusalem and return of Judea & Samaria to Israel in 1967:
In 1967, there were 0 Jews living in Judea & Samaria.
In 1993, there were 116,000 Jews living in Judea & Samaria.
In 2025, there were 550,000 Jews living in Judea & Samaria.
His target by the end of 2027 is 1 million!
