After the severe attacks in Jerusalem, today (Sunday) the political-security cabinet accepted the demand of the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gabir, and decided to approve the establishment of nine new settlements in the young settlement of Yosh.
Ben Gabir demanded at the government meeting after the attack in Neve Ya'akov, to immediately qualify settlements from the young settlement in Judea and Samaria, this in response to the murderous attack in Jerusalem and in memory of the murdered.
Following his demand, today the cabinet discussed the matter and decided to approve the settlements.
Among the settlements that were approved: Abigail, Asael, Shacharit, Givat Arnon, Givat Harel and Givat Hara, Malachi HaShalom, Mitzpe Yehuda, Beit Hogla, and Sde Boaz.

Ben Gvir: "We will take a heavy hand and aggressively against the terrorists, both measures on the ground and political measures. The training of the settlements will join the extensive police activity in East Jerusalem, and another series of measures to deter terrorism."
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "We made a promise and today we are starting to keep it. The government decided on the regulation of the young settlement. We made a decision to immediately regulate nine localities as new settlements and to initiate a broad process that will prepare the continuation of the regularization procedures in relation to the rest of the young settlement localities.
In addition, About ten thousand housing units will be collected and approved immediately for planning and marketing, which will renew the construction boom in Judea and Samaria, which was frozen for a long time by the previous government."

"Holiday"
The Givat Harel settlement was established 25 years ago and the Ra'a Givat settlement 20 years ago. The settlements went up with the approval of the Israeli governments, but so far have not been officially recognized.
The head of the Binyamin Israel Gantz Council informed the residents and excitedly wrote that "After a long wait and significant preparatory work, the Israeli government has at the right time approved the move. The settlements will go through regularization procedures in all areas. The Angels of Peace will grow from an agricultural farm to a flourishing settlement."

The head of the council indicated to the residents that there will be further news on the subject and according to him, "We are working with the government on continuing the settlement operations to other places. This is a real holiday. Thank you to the pioneer families who held on to the land for years and even today under difficult conditions. Today the Israeli government recognizes you. Now we will work together with Government officials to speed up the regulation processes."
