The regulation of the young settlement is underway:
this coming Sunday, a series of plans are expected to be presented to the government, the purpose of which is to begin steps to regulate the dozens of unregulated settlements in Judea and Samaria, at a cost of billions of shekels.
According to the coalition agreement between the Likud and Otzma Yehudit, the government committed to start regulating this settlement quickly.
The agreement states that a ministerial team headed by the Prime Minister will be established within 30 days of the establishment of the government, and that within 60 days of its establishment a government decision will be made to ratify the old settlements.
Within 18 months, all the sites of the young settlement should be regulated - including water and electricity connections, necessary public buildings and essential infrastructures.
It is also written that the government will finance planning, connecting, renewing and upgrading infrastructure and security components, and that the government will allocate approximately 180 million shekels for this purpose through the authorities, through the Ministry of the Negev, the Galilee and National Resilience.

As part of the understandings between the parties, it was also decided that a ministerial team headed by Prime Minister Netanyahu would be established to regulate the young settlement in Judea and Samaria.
This coming Sunday, the Minister of the Negev, the Galilee and National Resilience Yitzhak Wasserlauf is expected to present to the government three issues that will begin the settlement: the advancement of the development plan, which will include connections to critical infrastructures;
upgrading infrastructure and building public buildings;
as well as the establishment of a division for the young settlement in his office in the near future.
Although this is a technical approval, it constitutes a declaration of intent and the first active action for the arrangement.
In the coming months, the Ministry of the Negev, the Galilee and the National Security are expected to act in order to actually regulate the young settlement.
As I recall, the deputy legal advisor to the government determined in April last year that the points of the young settlement can be connected to electricity.
The Minister of Justice at the time, Gideon Sa'ar, welcomed and said that this was an "important move".
Now only a few small adjustments and corrections need to be made to place the proposal on the government's table.
Minimum living conditions
Yesterday Minister Wasserlauf toured the settlements of Asael and Abigail in the south of Mount Hebron, which are part of the settlements of the young settlement, together with the head of the Mount Hebron Regional Council, Yohai Demari.
During the tour, Wasserlauf stated that he intends to act as soon as possible to correct the fact that these settlements do not have any minimum living conditions.

"The young settlement was established with the support of the government, and it will not happen that on our watch there is no infrastructure, water and electricity in an orderly manner for the residents who freeze in the cold winter days, while in the illegal diaspora settlements the water flows and there is electricity for a few bins," he said.
"The office headed by me will work to regulate the settlement and establish the proper infrastructure for the settlers."
The head of the council Demari welcomed the words: "We saw the meaning and importance of regulating the settlements in the young settlement, such as Asael, Abigail and Mitzvah Yair. I am happy that this government took it upon itself, and that the minister came to see it with his own eyes, to do it as quickly as possible, as which was dictated in the coalition agreement. For that - Yasher Chakh."

The chairman of the Young Settlement Forum, Uriah Loberboom, added that the Young Settlement is "the vanguard force of the state to protect the nation's lands".
He congratulated the new minister for understanding the "need for immediate solutions for the hundreds of families without electricity or minimal infrastructure, which every other citizen in the State of Israel receives."
