Assessment
Thirty families are resettling the Ganim community in northern Samaria, 21 years after its previous residents were evacuated. The event was marked with a national ceremony attended by lawmakers, reflecting the political weight behind the move. A branch of the Bene David yeshiva will open alongside the families. Council head Yossi Dagan described the moment as a historic correction and predicted the settlement would grow tenfold. The real stakes are the practical and diplomatic implications of reestablishing a community in a contested area, especially after two decades.
