The Kibbutz Movement is encouraging demobilized soldiers to join settlements in the Jordan Valley, according to a document distributed by the organization’s special task force on settlement. Former MK Avshalom Vilan, a leading Kibbutz Movement official, is a founder of the Bayit Ehad (“One Home”) movement, which is promoting a bill that would encourage settlers living east of the West Bank separation fence to move to its western side even before a final-status agreement is reached between Israel and the Palestinians. In contrast to unauthorized outposts elsewhere in the West Bank, in which land appropriation is generally conducted by private individuals, in the case of the Jordan Valley settlements this has generally been done by government ministers, high-ranking state officials and the World Zionist Organization’s settlement department. haaretz/mobile/kibbutz-movement-urging-ex-soldiers-to-settle-in-west-bank-1.288291?v=F8C682A3986AAE4C071DEC03E9B78E0C
