The Attorney General's office discussed this afternoon (Thursday) the possibility of moving houses in Amona to 11 areas defined as absentee properties with no known Palestinian claimants.
Arutz Sheva has been informed that the main subject of the discussion is the possibility of transferring houses in Amona to these absentee properties which have no known Palestinian claimants.
In the past, Amona residents have expressed their opposition to such an arrangement and insisted that the community be legalized as it stands at present.
The plan to move houses to adjacent lands was devised by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit, who issued a directive to investigate candidate plots of land near Amona, and that the plan be publicized, so that objections could be brought forward.
Out of 35 plots, Palestinians raised objections to construction on 24. This leaves 11 plots that do not have any outstanding claims of ownership.
After these developments clarifying the availability of the relevant land, the Justice Ministry began to expedite the process of legally designating the land for the Amona houses to be transferred. The intended plots amount to over 18 acres of land.
