KKL chairman Eyal Ostrinsky reported on a tour in the Jordan Valley, stating that the IDF's Jordan Valley Division commander requested the expansion of existing settlements and the establishment of new outposts along the eastern border as part of the security concept. Ostrinsky, a Labor party member, said KKL would examine the request.
KKL chairman Eyal Ostrinsky, a member of the Labor party, published a detailed account of a tour in the Jordan Valley held earlier this week. The tour included meetings with settlers operating agricultural farms as security outposts east of the separation barrier, as well as representatives of the Shomer Hachadash organization and other groups establishing new student villages and pre-military academies. According to Ostrinsky, Brig. Gen. Oren Simcha, commander of the Jordan Valley Division, defined the IDF's security concept in the area, which includes the expansion of existing settlements and the establishment of new settlement points along the entire border from the Arava to the eastern Kinneret. Simcha requested that KKL participate in this effort. Ostrinsky stated that KKL will examine the request and make decisions quickly. The post highlights the ongoing alignment between civilian settlement and military security in the Jordan Valley, an area of strategic importance on Israel's eastern border.
