A new Israeli settlement named Rom-Gilboa was officially established on Thursday, October 29, in the Samaria region. This marks the 11th settlement founded in the Shomron area within the past year and the third in the last week. The first families have already moved into their new homes. The settlement is located near Malkishua and Kibbutz Meirav, east of Ganim and Kadim. The area has a history of terrorist attacks, with militants having previously fired on Kibbutz Meirav and other nearby communities.
The establishment ceremony was attended by Minister Amichai Chikli, Head of the Shomron Regional Council Yossi Dagan, families of the new settlers, and representatives from neighboring communities including Ein Harod, Tirat Zvi, Meirav, and Maale Gilboa. The initiative is part of the Shomron Regional Council's "Reunification Program," which aims to establish 19 new settlements in northern Samaria to replace four settlements that were dismantled. This program is a component of the council's larger "One Million Residents in Samaria" project.
The "Reunification Program" is being implemented in cooperation with the settlement organization Amanah and the Settlement Division of the Ministry of Defense. The stated goal of the initiative is to strengthen Israeli presence and create new settlements in a region deemed historically and strategically important for national security.
