Israel Gantz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council and the Yesha Council, delivered an emotional speech Thursday evening at an event marking the regularization of the community of Malachei HaShalom (formerly Mevo Shilo) in eastern Binyamin. Gantz recounted the stories of Malachi Rosenfeld and Shuli Har Melech, for whom the community is named, and later of Binyamin Achimeir and David Libi, who also fell in defense of the land.
The event, held Thursday evening, marked the formal regularization of the community of Malachei HaShalom, located in eastern Binyamin in the heart of Judea and Samaria. The community's name honors Malachi Rosenfeld and Shuli Har Melech, two individuals killed in separate terrorist attacks near the hill where the community was established. Gantz, a prominent figure in the settlement movement, highlighted the personal sacrifices made by the families and the ongoing connection to the land. The speech also touched on the birth of a granddaughter to Shuli Har Melech's widow, MK Limor Son Har Melech, and the subsequent deaths of Binyamin Achimeir, a resident of Malachei HaShalom murdered two and a half years ago, and David Libi, a bulldozer operator killed in Gaza. Gantz described the community's story as emblematic of the pioneers of this generation.
