Gush Katif Expellees to Build Gush Lachish
Excerpts;
A new Gush Katif – “Katif Bloc of Settlements” – is to arise in the Lachish area, east of the Be’er Sheva-Kiryat Gat area, west of Hevron. It will be built mainly by former residents of Gush Katif.
Five new communities are scheduled to be built along a north-south 15-kilometer range – though most of them are still very much in the planning stage. It could be anywhere from 2-4 years before all the permits and approvals are obtained and construction is completed.
The problem is that the government is giving us a hard time with all the approvals and permits, but I truly hope that its policies will soon change, in accordance with its declarations about developing the Negev.”
Commentary;
Unless Olmert and Kadima are voted down and decisively, expect that these well organized plans to form a new “Gush Katif” in Lachish won’t get off the ground because the last thing Olmert and his Kadima mob want is the reunification and reconstitution of the former Gush Katif communities anywhere or in any form.
