Israel's Minister of Heritage, Amichai Eliyahu, has declared the protected spaces, known as 'migoniyot,' in the Gaza Envelope region as "antiquities" and national heritage sites under the Antiquities Law. This decision follows appeals from dozens of bereaved families and former hostages.
The immediate consequence of this declaration is a complete prohibition on the demolition, removal, plastering, or painting of these structures without professional approval. The move aims to halt local and bureaucratic initiatives to "clean up the area," which involve clearing, repainting, and plastering the buildings that sustained fire. Such actions could potentially erase the historical evidence of the events.
Minister Eliyahu stated, "It is our duty to ensure that the stories of heroism and loss are told from within the space itself."
