      SELA's Future to be Decided Sunday


      The future of the SELA administration will be deliberated by the government Sunday morning. The ministers will decide on a budget for fiscal year 2010 and positions for the government agency responsible for compensating Jews expelled from Gush Katif and northern Samaria communities in 2005. Should the government choose to close the agency,  the ministers will need to decide which existing government agencies will take responsibility.

      The government recommendations note that more than 90 percent of the compensations have been paid. About five communities do not fulfill the law’s criteria of uprooted communities that are eligible for compensation for transferring their residents.
