The Samaria Regional Council announced that the settlement of Ganim in northern Samaria will be formally re-established on Thursday, August 13, 21 years after its evacuation in the 2005 disengagement. A family nucleus will ascend to the site and a branch of Yeshivat Bnei David of Eli will be established. Council head Yossi Dagan said: 'We are coming home. Instead of uprooting we bring building, instead of withdrawal—settlement.'
The Samaria Regional Council announced Monday that the settlement of Ganim, in northern Samaria southeast of Jenin, will be formally re-established on Thursday, August 13 — 21 years after its evacuation in the 2005 disengagement. A nucleus of families will ascend to the site, and a branch of Yeshivat Bnei David of Eli will be opened there. Council head Yossi Dagan said: 'We are coming home. Instead of uprooting we bring building, instead of withdrawal—settlement.'
The Zioneer has previously reported on several steps in the rebuilding of Ganim: engineering vehicles entered the site in June, the first caravan neighborhood was placed in July, and the local yeshiva reconvened for the first time since the evacuation. Similar rebuilding efforts have taken place in other evacuated communities in northern Samaria, including Kadim and Sha-Nur, as part of a broader effort to restore the four communities evacuated in the disengagement. The re-establishment of Ganim marks a milestone in that process, though the event remains scheduled and subject to the formal proceedings on Thursday.
