“Amazing Caring People”, MK Ariel Helping Gush Katif People Fight to Win Over Evil Regime
Gush Katif: Fighting, and Possibly Winning, on Two Fronts, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)
Excerpts;
MKs Ariel and Yitzchaki hope their bill for a billion shekels in compensation-increases for the expellees will be brought up for a Knesset vote next week. Some residents are trying another route.
Most of the nearly 1,700 families thrown out of their homes in Gush Katif 16 months ago have still not received the promised financial compensation to help them rebuild their lives. The residents say matters are being held up not only by regular old-fashioned bureaucracy, but by the restrictiveness of the Evacuation-Compensation Law that was passed shortly before the expulsion.
