Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich announced that Israelis are once again allowed to occupy the deserted town of Homesh in Samaria.
"We promised to recognize the continuation of Torah study in the Yeshiva in Homesh and we are keeping it. Following the cancellation of the law of secession in the Knesset, the commanding general in the region signed a parallel order to cancel the prohibition against entering Homesh and to annex the settlement to the territory of the Samaria Regional Council for the purpose of re-planning the yeshiva. Thanks to Defense Minister Yoav Galant for his cooperation in organizing the meeting."
