from Arutz Sheva
An agreement has been reached in the negotiations between residents of Migron and Minister Benny Begin regarding the planned eviction of residents
and demolition of the structures that have been built on the site.
Alternative structures will be built at permanent site not far from
Migron, and the IDF will "consider positively" leaving existing
structures intact.
Arutz Sheva has learned that the agreement will make it possible for residents
to peacefully leave the site and avoid confrontation with demolition
forces. The agreement is the result of negotiations in which the residents
were represented by Attorney Yaakov Weinrot and Binyamin regional
authority head Avi Roeh, vis-à-vis the government as represented by
Minister Begin.
Roeh sent a letter to Min. Begin Sunday in which
he enumerated the agreements reached and expressed support for them, on
his own behalf and on behalf of the residents of Migron.
The compromise is based upon a statement by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu,
according to which alternative structures will be built at a permanent
site on state lands, near Migron. The land upon which Migron currently
resides will be handed over to the IDF Civil Administration,
which will "consider positively" the continued use of structures that
were built on plots that were owned by Arabs who left the Land of Israel
long ago and can no longer claim them.
