The government approves a NIS 18 billion plan to rebuild, rehabilitate, and restore the Gaza border communities destroyed in Hamas’s October 7 assault on southern Israel.
The framework, known as “Tekuma,” funded from 2024-2028, will be guided by a plan that will be published within 100 days and will “enable the strengthening of the region for local authorities, communities, families, residents, and the entire State of Israel,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a statement that “we are building and rehabilitating our communities… we are dealing not only with rebuilding of the communities, the towns, the kibbutzes, but also the goal of causing them to prosper and flourish for generations to come,” including providing assistance to evacuees are investing in education, employment, welfare, agriculture, business and other areas.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
