A subcommittee of the National Planning and Building Council has recommended the establishment of a new Druze settlement in the Galilee, near Yavor Junction, on a plot of approximately 600 dunams (148 acres) with 1,000 housing units. The recommendation, reported by Lior Bakalo (N12), states that the plan aims to provide a long-term solution to the housing needs of the Druze population in Israel. The recommendation is a preliminary step; the full council and the government must still approve the plan. This would be one of the few new settlements specifically designated for the Druze population in recent years, amid ongoing housing challenges in existing Druze localities.
