The cabinet will discuss Vice Premier Chaim Ramon's proposal to convince Jewish families to leave Judea and Samaria on Sunday. Ramon hopes to convince the government to provide a financial incentive to Israelis who agree to leave their homes east of the separation barrier.
Ramon's plan would give NIS 1.1 million to families agreeing to leave their homes, and additional money to those willing to move to the Negev or Galilee. Ramon claims that 18 percent of those living east of the barrier—over 11,000 people—would be willing to accept the offer. Community leaders in Judea and Samaria have warned that any houses abandoned under the Ramon plan would be immediately given to new families.
