Kadim Settlement Reestablished in Northern Samaria as Israel Rolls Back 2005 Disengagement
Thirty families from the “Kadim” nucleus have established a residence at the site of the former Kadim settlement, marking its reestablishment 21 years after it was evacuated during the 2005 Disengagement Plan.
The move, led by the Samaria Regional Council and the Amana settlement organization, completes a broader effort by settlement leaders to rebuild communities in northern Samaria, following similar actions at Ganim, Sa-Nur, and Homesh.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan attended an official ceremony at the location.
“The revolution we led, establishing 104 communities and more than 160 farms, is not irreversible,” Smotrich said, warning that a future government “could harm the settlement enterprise.”
“The spirit of settlement and the people of Israel are stronger than any withdrawal,” Dagan said. “We are not only bringing life back to Kadim, but rewriting the future of northern Samaria through construction, expansion and a firm hold on our land.”
According to the Samaria Regional Council, the group moving to Kadim includes graduates of Zionist yeshivas and IDF reservists who served during the Iron Swords war.
