Construction and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf submitted a plan yesterday (Monday) to Tekumah Administration head Moshe Edri for aiding the communities of the Perimeter settlements for the medium and long terms.
According to the plan, residents of the Gaza Perimeter evacuated from their homes due to the October 7 massacre will be temporarily evacuated to trailer areas in the following locations: Be’eri evacuees will move to Hatzerim, Nir Oz – Hatzerim or Lahav, Holit – Revivim, Kfar Aza – Dorot, Rohama, or Beit Kamah, while the site for Nachal Oz evacuees has yet to be determined. The other settlements will be repopulated at the end of the fighting, where temporary neighborhoods will be established within the settlement in place of the ruined houses.
Minister Goldknopf stated in his letter that even before the fighting ended, an engineering survey of the planned buildings and infrastructures must be conducted.
Maintaining and Strengthening Communities – A Supreme Value
According to the main points of Goldknopf’s plan, the government should follow two main tracks: the first is the location of temporary structures for communities whose physical infrastructures suffered a heavy blow and which will take longer to rebuild, and the second is the rebuilding track inside the original settlements at the end of the fighting, for communities whose physical infrastructure is still relatively intact.
