Israel has allocated more than 8,500 dunums of land for six settler farms and grazing outposts in the West Bank, according to the Agriculture Ministry.
Haaretz newspaper said that the ministry statement came in a response to a query by the activist group Peace Now about the funding of groups that guard the outposts and volunteer there.
According to the Agriculture Ministry’s response, it funds three NGOs that provide volunteers for farm work in the outposts – Hashomer Yosh, Kedma and the pre-military program Beit Yattir. These groups received a total of 3.8 million shekels ($1.17 million) in 2020 and 3.6 million shekels in 2019 from the ministry for activities at the six farms.
