Ten new settlements, four in the Negev and six in the Galilee, will be built during the new fiscal year, under the new budget of the World Zionist Organization settlement department. The IL 1.4 billion budget was approved yesterday by the department executive.

The bulk of the budget will be divided among four main projects: stabilization of existing settlement, IL 330 million; daily care of existing settlements, IL 232 million; the establishment of 28 new outposts in the Galilee, IL 150 million; the infrastructure for the 10 new settlements, IL 108 million.

The budget for settlements across the Green Line has not yet been allocated due to differences between the Treasury and the settlement department.
