Next week: Construction of 3,100 housing units in Judea and Samaria | Israel Today will be approved

The Supreme Planning Council of the Civil Administration is expected to convene and approve the construction of thousands of housing units, after not convening since January • At the same time, about 1,300 housing units are expected to be approved for Palestinians in Area C


The Supreme Planning Council of the Civil Administration will convene next week, Wednesday, to approve about 3,100 housing units at various planning stages in Judea and Samaria.

This is after it has not convened since January this year, when only about 800 housing units were approved.

MTA was supposed to convene in August this year and approve about 2,000 housing units, but following the strike by the Civil Administration, the meeting was canceled. This was opened by the heads of councils and the Yesha Council, led by the head of the Mata Binyamin Council, Israel Ganz, in the struggle and set up a protest tent in front of the Prime Minister's Office.

Eventually, the yeshiva was canceled and members of the Knesset in the Eretz Israel lobby, Orit Struck and Yoav Kish, turned to Prime Minister Bennett, demanding that he add at least another 1,000 housing units to the list.



Pressures from the Yesha Council began in April.

It now turns out that the pressures have worked and in total MTA is expected to discuss 3,144 housing units.

The housing units that the committee is expected to discuss:

  • 1,344 housing units for deposit in, among others, Revava, Kedumim, Alon Moreh, Sansana, Vered Jericho and Givat Zeev.

  • 1,800 housing units in force, including in Kfar Etzion, Har Bracha, Beit El, Ma'ale Mikhmas, Talmon and Ali.

Another significant change concerns the approval of Palestinian construction, which was also scheduled to be discussed in August in the Civil Administration's Planning and Licensing Committee.

The committee is currently expected to convene on October 30.

It seems that the pressure exerted by the heads of the authorities in Gush Etzion has done its part and the plans to approve the illegal construction in Khirbet Zechariah have been dropped.

Meanwhile, about 1,300 housing units are expected to be approved for Palestinians to build in Area C.
