First caravans arrived at the community of Kadim in northern Samaria this morning, marking the return of the fourth and final community evacuated during the 2005 disengagement, according to reports.
First caravans arrived at the community of Kadim in northern Samaria this morning, completing the return of the four communities evacuated during the 2005 disengagement. The arrival of the caravans paves the way for the core group of families to move in, according to reports.
The event marks the final phase of the re-establishment of the four northern Samaria communities — Ganim, Kadim, Sa-Nur, and Homesh — which were destroyed under the Disengagement Law. Earlier this month, on July 9, The Zioneer reported the arrival of first caravans at Emek Dotan, a new community in the region. On July 10, The Zioneer reported that the government approved a NIS 1 billion road plan for Judea and Samaria, which includes infrastructure for these communities.
The return of the four communities represents a significant policy shift, reversing a key component of the 2005 withdrawal. The government has been advancing legislation to repeal parts of the Disengagement Law, and the physical re-establishment of these communities is now well underway.
