AGRICULTURAL FARM OUTPOST
Classified By: Deputy Chief of Mission Luis G. Moreno for reasons 1.4 (
b),(d)
1. (C) On April 14, Oded Herman, Advisor to MOD Pol-Mil
Director Amos Gilad, confirmed to EconCouns that settlers had
voluntarily evacuated the Mevo Horon Agricultural Farm
outpost, located near No Man's Land in the West Bank.
According to Herman, the six families had relocated from the
outpost approximately one week ago and returned to the nearby
Mevo Horon settlement. The six caravans located at the
outpost were removed yesterday and early this morning, Herman
confirmed.
2. (C) In exchange for the voluntary evacuation of the
outpost, the MOD gave the settlement permission to build new
housing for the relocated families within its boundaries, and
also promised to retroactively legalize a number of buildings
that were built without a permit inside Mevo Horon. Among
the buildings which will be approved are small industrial
warehouses, a yeshiva, and several two-family homes (Note:
Herman likely meant duplexes or a similar type of building
where two families share the same physical structure. He did
not know the number of buildings to be retroactively
approved. End note).
