New Road Connecting Samaria and Jordan Valley Begins Construction

Construction has commenced on a new road linking the Samaria and Jordan Valley regions of the West Bank. The road will connect the settlement of Alon Moreh in Samaria to the settlement of Mechora in the Jordan Valley, creating an additional travel route between the two areas. The construction is expected to take approximately one week, after which the road will open to traffic. This new route is anticipated to facilitate travel from Samaria northward through the Jordan Valley.

The road construction is part of a broader infrastructure development program in Judea and Samaria promoted by Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The program has allocated budgets for road construction and infrastructure development, with ongoing work on dozens of routes across Judea and Samaria.

Smotrich welcomed the start of the work, stating, "We continue to fortify and strengthen the settlement enterprise, and to lead a settlement revolution on the ground that will cut off the terrible idea of establishing a terror state in the heart of the State of Israel." He also issued a warning regarding potential changes in government, asserting that a left-wing government could lead to the evacuation of settlements and outposts. "A government of Eisenkot-Lieberman-Golan will evacuate the farms and settlements we have established, and will establish a Palestinian terror state. They say it with their mouths, and they mean it," Smotrich claimed.

He further urged the public to avoid voting for parties that he believes will not pass the electoral threshold, warning that such votes could lead to the election of a left-wing government and the subsequent evacuation of settlements. Smotrich thanked the administration of the settlement division in the Ministry of Defense and GOC Central Command Avi Blot for their roles in advancing the project.
