The Israeli government approved a NIS 1 billion plan to develop the Golan Heights that will at least double its Jewish population and allow for the creation of two new towns in the region.

“We are making history in the Golan,” Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted in advance of the vote, which took place at a special meeting at Kibbutz Mevo Hamma in the Golan Heights.

At the start of the visit, Bennett said: “Friends, this is our moment; this is the moment for the Golan Heights.”

“A combination of circumstances has led us today to a dramatic government decision to channel considerable resources, around NIS 1b., to strengthen communities on the Golan Heights,” he said.

“First, it must be said, the Golan Heights are Israeli; this is self-evident,” he added.

The government’s allocation of resources strengthens Israel’s presence in the Golan Heights territory, which it captured from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War and officially annexed in 1981.The United States recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan in 2019 and is the only country to have done so. Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked former US president Donald Trump for that recognition by creating the town Trump Heights in the Golan.

Israel has been insistent that retention of that mountain range is essential for its security, particularly given the Syrian civil war and Iran’s increased conventional military aggression toward Israel.

“After around 10 years of terrible civil war in Syria, every knowledgeable person in the world understands that it is preferable to have Israeli heights that are quiet, flourishing and green as opposed to the alternative,” Bennett said.

“The fact that the Trump administration recognized this, and the fact that the Biden administration has made it clear that there has been no change in this policy, are also important,” he said.

The goal of the development plan is to double the population on the Golan within five years, including through the construction of two new neighborhoods in the town of Katzrin and the creation of two new towns already named Asif and Matar, Bennett said.

The plan calls for a NIS 576m. investment in housing to allow for 23,000 new Golan residents. This would include the construction of 7,300 new units of which 3,300 would be in Katzrin and the remainder in the communities under the Golan Regional Council. This includes 18 moshavim, 10 kibbutzim and four towns.

Another 4,000 units would be built in the two planned new towns, Asif and Matar.

The plan also calls for NIS 160 million for transportation systems and healthcare facilities. It will also invest in education and the Odem Plan for technological-security leadership in Katzrin.

Another NIS 162m. will be allocated for regional economic development, including tourism. Some 2,000 jobs will be created in agritech, hotels, agriculture and commercial sectors, according to the government.

The Golan Heights will become the “renewal energy capital,” the government said in summary notes of the meeting. This will include investments in solar projects as well as agri-voltaic projects and research across 200 hectares.

In addition, changes in the way people in the 21st century work allow for those who work virtually to consider living in places such as the Golan, Bennett told the ministers.

“To the Israelis who are looking for a place to build their home, I say: The Heights are waiting for you; come to the Golan,” he said.

Bennett emphasized that a decision taken by this government to strengthen the Golan was a sign of how much Israeli sovereignty there was a matter of national consensus, given that his coalition represented a broad cross section of Israeli society.

“The fact that the ministers of the government are here, from Right and Left, sitting together here, is very impressive,” he said. “It is not a given.”

“The Golan Heights, the need to strengthen, cultivate and live in it, is certainly a principle that unites everyone here,” Bennett added.

Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar said approval of the development plan marked 40 years since former prime minister Menachem Begin’s decision to annex the territory. He said Begin had clarified that the Golan would remain part of Israel even in the event that a peace deal would be reached between Syria and the Jewish state.

Syria’s claim to the Golan is based on an arbitrary decision by two colonial powers in the last century that placed its border there, Sa’ar said.

The days when a prime minister would negotiate to place the Golan in Syrian hands by writing on a napkin “have passed,” he said.

Just imagine what it would be like to battle Iran’s attempt to use Syria as a military base from which to attack Israel if the Golan Heights were in Syrian hands, Sa’ar said.

In light of the significance of the Golan for Israel, not enough has been done to promote its development, he said.

The government must approve a similar plan to develop the Galilee, Sa’ar said. “We have to bring forward a wide-ranging program for the Galilee,” he added.

Joint List MK Ahmed Tibi criticized the government decision.

“It doesn’t matter how many government meetings are held in the Golan,” he said. “It is Syrian land under occupation. All members of the coalition are responsible for the decisions made at this meeting.”

They dream. Which country is ready for 3rd war? Iran, Yemen or who? Lebanon? You think people are ready to waste their hard earned projects because of one stupid Hamas Yoruba Head Slamming Muslim who are bent to destroy Israel but reversed got the case. No one is ready to fight with you people. Your Gaza is turning to Plantation and you think other countries will want their own to be like that after spending years and money to build it.

The best way you can handle this, go build your own country with your Yoruba Muslim then initiate the 3rd War let’s see how it will go.

Well will see the end of you both, while history teach those coming behind them .

Can you battle against the Almighty God (Creator of the Heavens and the Earth) and win? There were many more wicked Arabs and extremist Muslims than you who in the past boasted of wiping Israel off the surface of the earth. But where are they today? They have turned to dust and manure why Israel continue to grow stronger and stronger. Yours will not be different. Israel will continue to exist till the end of the world. That is the promise the Almighty God gave to them.

Three Lessons Israel-Hamas War Has Taught Nigerian Muslims

1. That nobody has monopoly of violence

It is not only muslim terrorists can be violent. The proportion of violence from a jew is equivalent to that of a thousand terrorists. With or without U.S, the entire Arab countries cannot look at Israel in the face.

2. That Jews are not forgiven like Christians

Jews don't pray for terrorists to repent, they treat them with violence in geometric proportion for that is the only means to living in peace wherever terrorists are. They send terrorists to go and meet their promised 72 virgins as fast as possible.

3. That terrorists can cry, run and hide

After 0ctober 7 incursion into Israel's territory and murdering of over 1000 Israelis, Hamas terrorists organization have been crying and begging countries around the world to prevail on Israel for ceasefire. Since then, Hamas terrorists have abandoned their homes and families and started disguising among civilians in hospitals, schools, mosques and refugee camps.

After this war, you will look for Hamas terrorists organization and see them no more. If Nigeria can adopt Israel's system of curing muslims of terrorism, there would be no Islamic terrorists in Nigeria after the next ten years.

Shalom!

You black Muslims are something else, the same Arabs you are supporting today don't even see you as humans. They respect and value the Jews far more than you that is a black Muslim. The same Arab Muslims are the ones killing and enslaving your fellow black Muslims in Sudan and Mauretania, and none of you dare complain or protest because the Arabs are your eternal slave masters.
