The Israeli government is preparing to normalize the status of 140 Jewish farms across Judea and Samaria, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Monday, as part of a larger effort to combat unauthorized land seizures by Palestinian Arabs.
“Anyone who seeks to see Zionism at its best—what deep commitment to the Land of Israel is, and what a true connection to the soil of the land looks like—will find all of this in the agricultural farms of Judea and Samaria,” Katz said.”
The development of housing is not the sole approach to constructing and fortifying the Land of Israel. Farms play a vital role in the ongoing existence of Zionist agricultural settlement, aiding in the prevention of encroachment on state land and enhancing security in areas that are at risk.
Join us on our next AFSI Chizuk Mission to visit and celebrate a sampling of these farms!
