Ruling: The approach that pl espouse leads to anarchy, and the State of Israel does not allow this. When, for various reasons, the central government does not set rules for a certain area, it encourages local jurisdictions to assume such roles, and rc maintains such a role in the area of SE, in partnership with def.
The area in question is legally similar to a reshut harabim (public property). An individual may not use reshut harabim in a manner that is out of step with public norms (see Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 637:3). The closest arbiters of what this entails in settlement expansions is the regional council.
Furthermore, while rc does not have legal authority, it is very pertinent that when pl needed help going back to SE, they turned to rc, which felt a need to pressure def into agreeing. Since this hierarchy brought pl to their present situation, they cannot deny all authority to these bodies.
As those who represent the local residents in practice, def have the status we find in classical halachic sources of zayin tuvei ha’ir. Rishonim (including Shut Harashba I:729; Mordechai, Bava Batra 480) give them equivalent rights locally to the highest rabbinic authorities. There is no need for the local representation to enjoy a national stamp of approval. This is in line with pbdr. While pl was not a signatory to that arbitration agreement, and thus that ruling is not binding on them, pl signed our beit din’s arbitration agreement, and we have no reason not to incorporate pbdr, with which we have no issue.
In summary, then, pl are bound by the authority of rc and def to the extent that the latter serves as a partner to the former.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
