Aryeh Eldad managed to obtain signatures of 42 Knesset members in support of the Jews’ return to the 4 settlements in Samaria destroyed by the IDF during the 2005 disengagement from Gaza. Though the bill won’t get the majority of votes, it is a good show of strength for some very right-wing lobby.
Jewish conservative activists often attempt to repopulate the abandoned settlement of Homesh. Israeli court ruled that the legal prohibition for the Jews to return to the destroyed settlements is moot because it was intended only for the duration of disengagement.
