Israeli premier-elect Benjamin Netanyahu and leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party Itamar Ben-Gvir agreed on Wednesday to amend the disengagement law in order to enable Jewish settlers to stay in evacuated settlements and outposts especially Homesh in the occupied West Bank.
According to the Hebrew media Homesh was one of four Jewish settlements in the northern West Bank that were evacuated as part of the 2005 Israeli disengagement plan which also saw the evacuation of all Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir also agreed that within 60 days of the establishment of their coalition government infrastructures will be provided for a series of illegal settlement outposts (known as youth settlements) through legislation that will legalize them.
They also agreed to expedite the planning and paving of multiple bypass roads and the expansion of Highway 60 the main traffic route of settlements in the West Bank.
Finally they agreed to establish a yeshiva (Jewish religious institution) at the outpost of Evyatar whose settlers were evicted from the location last year and another one in the settlement of Homesh near Nablus.
