Approved: New scheme to integrate people with disabilities into the

The Northern District Committee has approved the establishment of a new settlement in the Lower Galilee, to be called “Shibolet.” This new settlement will have a unique and innovative concept and will serve as an “integration village” that will facilitate the integration of people with disabilities into the broader community.

The proposal for the settlement was submitted by the Ministry of Construction and Housing in cooperation with the Department of Settlements. The proposal is aimed at the high demand among families of people with disabilities in the northern region and the difficulty in finding suitable locations to integrate people with disabilities into society.

The settlement is designed to avoid physical separation between residential areas, with a focus on creating a shared public and community center for integrated populations. According to the plan, approximately 350 housing units will be built, of which approximately 70 will be intended for populations with disabilities and their families.

“There is no more hopeful way than bringing together and integrating different people in one place.”

The Director General of the Ministry of Construction and Housing, Mr. Yehuda Morgensten, said: “We continue to strengthen settlement in our country, and there is no more hopeful way than bringing together and integrating diverse people in one place. Great efforts have been made in planning the settlement of ‘Shibolet’ to ensure diverse settlement, from integrating different population groups to constructing buildings that provide economic and cultural diversity. I am proud of and grateful to our professional staff, who make this possible through their professional work.”

Deputy Director General for Village Affairs, Ms. Osnat Kimchi, added: “As the Ministry of Construction and Housing, which is responsible for strengthening the settlement in the Negev and the Galilee and establishing new settlements, we are very proud and excited today. The establishment of the Shibolet community is of great importance both for strengthening the settlement in the Negev and the Galilee and for integrating population groups with special needs as residents in rural communities and as an integral part of the community, in addition to the Daniel community that is currently being developed in the Southern District. We will continue working on the settlement in the Negev and the Galilee.”
