Ministers okay NIS 60m. for new settlement for Amona evacuees

The cabinet approves funding for the new settlement of Amichai, the first new West Bank settlement established by an Israeli government decision in decades.

The new village is to house the evacuated settlers of the illegal outpost of Amona, who have long complained of government inaction in fulfilling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s promise to build for them an alternative settlement.

A budget of some NIS 60 million is approved under the aegis of the Interior Ministry for the construction of the new settlement.
