Ratifying the legalization of a settlement in the Galilee

On Sunday afternoon, the Israeli government approved the establishment of the "Ramat Erbil" settlement in Lower Galilee, which was described as an "illegal town", which means legalizing it to turn it into a settlement.


And the Minister of the Negev and the Galilee in the Israeli government, Yitzhak Wasserlev, considered that this step is very important for settlement in the Galilee, noting that this is the first time that settlement construction in that area has been approved in 25 years.


He thanked the settlers who live in that "town" in difficult circumstances - as he said - considering this step as fulfilling the promise that he, along with other ministers, had made to the population.


According to Haaretz newspaper, since last year, 4 families of settlers have been living in this settlement, in temporary buildings, "caravans," noting that last December, two buildings were evacuated from them, and the evacuation of the rest was prevented after a court in Tiberias agreed. At the request of its residents to give them a deadline, but the day after the eviction, other caravans were put in place.
