Disengagement Authority
Approves Resettlement Loans
(June 1, 2005)
A
special Disengagement Authority committee
approved
NIS 135,000 standing loans per family for
12 families from Ganim and Kadim, who are
moving to Gan-Ner in the Gilboa Regional
Council area and to Afula.
Settlers who move to national priority areas in
the Galilee and the Negev are eligible
to receive these standing loans in accordance
with the Evacuation
Compensation Law. The
loans become grants after five years in
the new areas.
The
special committee has the legal authority
to approve special payments, beyond the
letter of the law, in those cases in which
the eligibility conditions for receiving
them have not been fulfilled, to approve
moving communities, to increase compensation
payments to businesses, etc.
The
Disengagement Authority wishes to emphasize
that the above is not a sweeping decision
and that each family request will be considered
on its merits.
Disengagement
Authority Director Yonatan Basi chairs
the special committee, which also includes
Justice Ministry, Finance Ministry, and
public representatives.
