סמוטריץ' מציג יעד שאפתני: מיליון יהודים לנגב ולגליל

הערכה

The Religious Zionism party is rolling out a settlement expansion plan for the Negev and Galilee with a target of one million Jewish residents. The proposal bundles land-use changes, relocation incentives, job zones, and infrastructure spending alongside promises to crack down on illegal weapons, crime, and unauthorized construction. This is a political platform announcement, not a government policy, so watch whether it gets budget backing or remains a campaign plank. The framing ties demographic goals directly to enforcement against non-Jewish building, which will sharpen existing tensions over land and planning in these regions.
