Minister Bezalel Smotrich reveals plans to reestablish settlements in northern Samaria, including Ganim and Kadim. 'The correction of the sin of expulsion is underway.' Two years after the repeal of the Disengagement Law, Minister in the Defense Ministry Bezalel Smotrich announced that he is advancing the return of settlements evacuated from northern Samaria, including Ganim and Kadim. These settlements will soon join the already-approved settlements of Homesh and Sa-Nur, he said.
"We are working on this now," Smotrich said in an interview with the "Ofek" weekend newsletter. He added, "We are deciding to bring Ganim and Kadim as well, and I hope this will happen in the coming weeks, and help correct the sin of the expulsion. The people of Israel are correcting the sin in Gaza, and I hope we will succeed there too, completing the correction of the sin in northern Samaria."
Smotrich also spoke about his personal journey since the expulsion from Gush Katif: "I was arrested by the Shin Bet because I tried to prevent the events of October 7. I was arrested because we cried out with hoarse voices against the danger that was looming. We warned exactly about this, we warned that Gaza would become a terror capital, and we warned that missiles would be fired from there." (Read More)
