The establishment of 13 cities will include 180,000 housing units
(May 25, 2025 / JNS) Israel is allocating 30 million shekels ($8.3 million) to build more than a dozen cities and industrial zones throughout Samaria, Construction and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf announced on Thursday.
The “Samaria to a Million” proposal was launched by Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan in 2023, and will now enter its first phase with financial support from the state, according to Goldknopf.
“In the face of those seeking our destruction, the clear and unequivocal answer is to strengthen the settlement and solidify our hold on the Land of Israel in general—and in Judea and Samaria in particular,” the ultra-Orthodox minister said in remarks cited by the Israel Hayom daily.
