Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the establishment of a new town around the Giv'ot settlement in the Judea region, according to his office. The announcement expands the existing Giv'ot community into a larger urban center. No further details — such as planned housing units or a timeline — have been released yet.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced this morning his plan to establish a new town around the Giv'ot settlement in Judea. Giv'ot is an existing Israeli community in the Judea region, south of Jerusalem. The announcement was made via the minister's office but did not include specific details on the scope, housing numbers, or a construction timeline. This move aligns with the government's broader policy of expanding Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the current government has advanced several settlement expansion initiatives this year. The announcement comes amid ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding the status of Israeli communities in the area.
