The Security Cabinet on Thursday evening approved the establishment and regulation of 19 new communities across Judea and Samaria.
Among the communities approved, following the proposal of Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Israel Katz, are Ganim and Kadim, which were evacuated from northern Samaria as part of the Disengagement nearly twenty years ago.
In addition, approvals were granted for veteran communities as well as those in early stages of development. This marks a significant political step expanding Israeli communities in the region.
The list of approved communities: Esh Kodesh, Allenby, Givat Harel, Ganim, Har Bezek, Ya’ar El-Keren, Yatziv, Yitav West, Kadim, Kochav HaShachar North, Kida, Mishol, Nahal Doron, Pnei Kedem, Reihanit, Rosh HaAyin East, Shalem, Tamun.
