Transport Minister Miri Regev Visits Northern Samaria to Advance Infrastructure and Public Transit

Transport Minister and National Security Cabinet member Miri Regev toured northern Samaria and the settlement of Sha'Nur on Wednesday alongside Yossi Dagan, head of the Shomron Regional Council, and professional teams from the Ministry of Transport and the regional council. During the visit, they reviewed development plans for the area and discussed the rehabilitation of road infrastructure and the promotion of public transportation amid preparations for establishing new settlements.

Regev described the return to Sha'Nur as a "moving moment with national significance," emphasizing Israel's ongoing efforts to build and develop. Since her return to the Transport Ministry, she stated that billions of shekels have been invested in transportation infrastructure in Judea and Samaria, including paving roads, constructing interchanges, and connecting communities to enhance security and residents' quality of life.

She pledged continued investment in advanced transportation infrastructure to link settlements across the country, enabling families to grow and prosper. Regev framed these efforts as part of a de facto sovereignty strategy to integrate settlements and invest wherever Israel is building its future.

Yossi Dagan highlighted that developing transportation infrastructure is crucial for the region's growth, aiming to reach a population of one million residents in northern Samaria. He noted that robust infrastructure will attract tourism and business, ensuring full connectivity of northern Samaria with the broader area and supporting ongoing settlement expansion. Dagan expressed gratitude for Regev's deep and consistent commitment to the region's development.
