The Israeli Interior Ministry has officially recognized the settlement of Noa in the northern West Bank, completing its regularization process. The settlement, declared in March 2026 by the Political-Security Cabinet, is the 40th to receive a "settlement symbol" recently, a designation that allows it to receive government services and infrastructure, including security coordination and direct water connections.
Noa, located within the Samaria Regional Council near the settlements of Ganim and Kedumim, was initially declared a new settlement in March 2026. Following this decision and work by the Civil Administration and the Settlement Administration in the Ministry of Defense, the Commander of the Central Region, Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, approved its jurisdiction. The granting of the settlement symbol marks the final step in its official recognition.
Minister of Finance and Minister in the Ministry of Defense, Bezalel Smotrich, who is spearheading a policy to establish new settlements and regularize existing ones in Judea and Samaria, praised the move. "In less than a year, we have managed to bring 40 settlement symbols," Smotrich stated, calling it a "historic achievement." He added that "settlement in Judea and Samaria continues to grow and flourish with full force, and against those who want to establish a government with supporters of terrorism, destroy settlement, and establish a Palestinian state, we are building, regularizing, and strengthening our hold on the inheritance of our forefathers."
Smotrich thanked the Interior Ministry, the Central Region Command, the Civil Administration, and the Settlement Administration for advancing the regularization process.
