Over 10,000 people participated in the Samaria March in the northern West Bank on Wednesday, retracing the path between the former settlements of Ganim and Kadim. These communities were evacuated as part of the 2005 disengagement plan, and settlement activity has recently been renewed there. The march took place just one month after the first families moved back into the area.
The events began with a Hallel prayer service at the new settlement of Noa, from where participants embarked on the march to Kadim. Upon arrival, a rally was scheduled to feature government ministers, Knesset members, rabbis, and public figures. The evening's entertainment included performances by musicians Binyamin Landau and Shai David Gadsy.
Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, spoke about the return to the settlements, stating that the move back to Ganim and Kadim is "just the beginning." He expressed the goal of making northern Samaria a significant settlement region once again, emphasizing the commitment to "stay, build, and grow a new generation here."
Israeli military forces provided security for the march and the surrounding routes.
