The Blue Line for the Kedar South settlement has been published

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 15:34:24 GMT

Arrangement: The Blue Line for the Kedar South settlement has been published - the path to advancing the urban development plan has been opened

First publication. Smotrich continues the momentum of regularizing the young settlement. The settlement of Kedar-South in northeastern Gush Etzion received "Blue Line" approval and can now begin the urban planning for the development of the settlement

Significant reinforcement for the settlement in northeastern Gush Etzion. In recent days, the new blue line regulating the settlement of Kedar Darom, one of the young settlements in Gush Etzion, was published.

The Blue Line is a process in which the state determines the boundaries of the settlement so that it is now possible to continue the process of promoting a city-building plan (TABA) to regulate construction, develop infrastructure, and strengthen the settlement in the long term.

The settlement of Kedar South was established 40 years ago, as a settlement of the Betar movement. Over the years, the settlement of Kedar North developed and became a well-established settlement, and now it is the turn of the Kedar South settlement. The settlement belongs to the Mishor Adumim settlement bloc, but belongs to the Gush Etzion Regional Council and is located, as stated, at the northeastern edge of the council.

The move to regularize the settlement is part of a systematic policy led by Bezalel Smotrich in his role as minister in the Ministry of Defense, to regularize the young settlement, strengthen Israel's grip on the territory, and create planning and legal certainty for residents who have lived and worked in the settlements for years. The defense establishment and the Civil Administration note that the publication of the Blue Line now allows for the advancement of regularized plans, connection to infrastructure, and continued development of the settlement as part of Gush Etzion, while meeting both civilian and security needs.

The regularization of the Kedar South settlement joins a series of steps taken recently, including the final regularization of about twenty settlements in the young settlement, and the advancement of regularization in another series of settlements, as part of a clear government policy to strengthen settlement and deepen Israeli control over the territory.

Minister of Finance and Minister of Defense, Bezalel Smotrich, said: "The publication of the Blue Line in Kidar Darom is another important step in regulating the young settlement and in making Zionism a reality. After years of uncertainty, we are bringing order, planning, and responsibility. I thank the people of the Settlement Administration and the Civil Administration for advancing the regulation of the settlement."

"The State of Israel is committed to the citizens who chose to hold on to the land of the land, and our mission is to regulate, develop and strengthen the settlement, not abandon it. We will continue to promote de facto sovereignty in the territory, in the settlements, in planning and in actions, and stop the folly of the idea of a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel."

Good News for Settlement

Good news for settlement: 3,380 dunams for the new city of Mishmar Yehuda

Minister Bezalel Smotrich continues activities to establish the new city: "We continue to kill the idea of the Arab state in the heart of our country, strengthening Jerusalem from the east"

The process of establishing the new city of Mishmar Yehuda, located east of Jerusalem, recently made significant progress: a new blue line was published for an area of 3,380 dunams, and alongside it, a first city building plan is being promoted, including approximately 3,600 housing units.

The announcement of the establishment of the city was made by the Political-Security Cabinet in February 2023, and since then the regularization procedures have been promoted.

Minister of Finance and Minister of Defense, Bezalel Smotrich, referred to the significant impact of the city's establishment on Jerusalem's strategic space. "Mishmar Yehuda is destined to be a new, planned, large and beautiful city, which will serve as a strategic anchor for protecting Jerusalem from the east." According to him, this is historic news, as the city will not only strengthen the space surrounding Jerusalem, but will also provide significant housing solutions for young couples, a short distance from the capital.

Smotrich added that this is another step to promote Israeli sovereignty in the territory and to prevent ideas of establishing an Arab state in Judea and Samaria. He mentioned the late attorney Doron Nir Zvi, who was one of the first to push for the establishment of the city and left its promotion as a kind of testament.

May fun, merriment, and laughter
keep you in high spirits...
And make your Purim celebrations unforgettable!

Our Proyector Uri Ariel, in early February 2022, arranged for a special visit of the Israeli Minister of Interior to Mitzpe Yehuda (Givat Adumim).

Ayelet Shaked, the interior Minister was very impressed with the strategic location and the potential for actually building a solid residential city within the perimeters of Greater Jerusalem. She indicated that she will do whatever it takes to advance the infrastructure master plan and to press on with a consensus within the government members to enable a large Orthodox Residental Development in this specific area.

Doron Nir Zvi, the Project attorney was one of the crew members for the visit of the Minister of Housing and Constructions, Zeev Elkin, at Mitzpe Yehuda (Givat Adumim) earlier this month.

The Minister, like Ayelet Shaked, was impressed with the location and confirmed that the Ministry of Housing and Construction is committed to allocating a budget for all the planning of the Master Plan for this Land and allocating much more land owned by the Government to be planned, zoned, and developed in conjunction with Givat Adumim location. The Government's goal is to house almost 50,000 residents in this location to make a periphery outside Jerusalem but still close enough to be part of the Greater Jerusalem area.

New Year - New Opportunities! 🎉

New Year. New Opportunities.

As we enter the year 2022, we are happy to inform you of the exciting new developments regarding the City of the Future 'Givat Adumim' (Mitzpe Yehuda) in which more than 1,500 land units have already been purchased.

The approval of the "young settlements" is expected to take place in the upcoming several months, and many investors are choosing to take the opportunity to purchase land in the planned Orthodox city near Jerusalem before the price hike.

The future city is less than 15 minutes from Jerusalem and has a completely sage access road. The fact that Design City - the largest mall of its kind in Israel - is merely five minutes away, will also affect the attractiveness and employment opportunities in the vicinity of Givat Adumim.

In recent years, no new Orthodox cities have been established, so this development is coming at the perfect time to address the housing shortage of about 55,000 units in theOrthodox communities around Jerusalem. The new city in Givat Adumim near Ma'ale Adumim is about 12 minutes from Jerusalem and will constitute a major solution to the Orthodox housing crisis.

Indeed, the Israeli public is voting with their feet and choosing to invest in this project. Ronen Avi Keisar, the Marketing Manager in Israel says:

"So far, more than 1,500 units have been sold out of 3,000 lots that are currently available for sale. The land prices are increasing every six months. According to expert appraisers, in the region, the land in Givat Adumim is expected to more than double its value in the next two to three years"

Gad Gabriel, from The Jerusalem United Fund, says that a land unit in Givat Adumum is currently being offered at a particularly attractive price. The current price is $46,000 per 100 sq meters while the appraised value is actually $76,000 per 100 sq meters.

According to all the estimates, the process of regulating the "young settlements" will begin in the year 2022. The city's infrastructure planning process has already begun and when completed, the price of the investment will skyrocket. Those who have purchased a 400 square meter bundle will not be required to pay the cost of construction and/or any infrastructure work. Thus, at a price of about half a million NIS, they will have an apartment in the new city near Jerusalem.

Several professionals have been monitoring the project's progress since its registration. Electrical engineers, landscape architects, infrastructure, and road planners alongside consultants are working to advance and expedite the process.

Former Minister Uri Ariel, who served as Minister of Housing and Minister of Foresign Affairs, was elected to oversee the project as project manager. Uri Ariel is well acquainted with the venture and attaches great importance to its establishment, and therefore believes in its success.

In addition, the charter AMANA movement that deals with construction initiatives in Judea and Samaria and has built thousands of homes has taken upon itself to assist and advance the planning process.

In a few years, the city is expected to contain about 4,000 housing units and about 20,000 residents. In addition, the Israeli government is planning to develop over 10,000 housing units for about 50,000 residents on government-owned land as part of the same project.

Judea & Samaria

"Huge profit potential"

How agricultural land in Judea & Samaria became a real estate hit

As housing prices in the center of the country rise, attractive investment opportunities dwindle. After all, many investors are not able to bring home several hundred thousand shekels of equity, or are simply not interested in it - because the higher the initial investment, the lower the profit potential. For those who do not give up and continue to look for investments in relatively low equity, without compromising on high profit potential, it is worth checking out what is happening beyond the Green Line.

The bureaucracy on the journey for approving plans is minimal, the change of zoning time is half of the usual/normal time - and prices are still very attractive and affordable. Investors are discovering fast agricultural land beyond the Green Line, which is expected to become part of the township/settlement in the coming years

For example, agricultural land in Judea and Samaria, in an area designated for future construction, is currently marketed at a price of NIS 129-149,000 per 100 sq.m. area unit. NIS 500-600,000 – This will yield a profit of almost 3 times the investment.

Less bureaucracy, without an improvement levy (Impact Fee) (“Heitel Hashbacha” in Hebrew)

The corporations/funds that market the various land, and are specialized in promoting projects beyond the Green Line, explains that "usually, in order to approve plans and thaw agricultural land, the plans have to go through a local committee and a district committee, a process that takes many years. Beyond the Green Line - "There is no district committee, so the process is cut in half. Another advantage of the location is that there is no improvement levy on transactions beyond the Green Line. This means savings of 35% to 50% compared to similar transactions within the Green Line."

The promoters emphasize that these lands are privately owned by Jews, which are registered. "These are not state lands, but lands with an orderly and accessible Recorded Deed, including a block and a plot, without any lien,". As stated, these are area designated for future construction.

In accordance with the appraisal report according to Standard 22 and based on similar cases, each land unit will grant the investor the right to one housing unit in the building after the approval of the master plan in place. According to standard and similar transactions in the area, the price of an apartment is expected to be about NIS 1.5 million (apx $500,000 USD).

For investors in these lands, there are three possible profit opportunities. Those who sell after receiving the building permit are expected to receive about NIS 500,000 (apx $150,000 USD) on the land, that is, a profit close to NIS 350,000 (apx $100,000 USD). In the second route, the investor will add the construction costs, about NIS 700,000 (apx $230,000 USD), and receive a new 3-bedrooms apartment worth NIS 1.5 million, after investing only about NIS 850,000 (apx $275,000 USD).

The third investment route is intended for those who will purchase 4 or more land units, and will be able to make a combination transaction with the contractor who will build on the site. Those who want it, will be able to transfer ownership of the units to the contractor and offset the construction costs. This way they will be able to keep ONE fully built unit of 100 sq meters.

"A new city will be built here"

"In recent years, construction in Judea and Samaria has gained widespread legitimacy, with ministers, members of parliament, mayors and committee councils visiting the area and promising that a new city will be built on these lands,".

"There is high certainty that the proposed construction will take place, so for an investment of only NIS 129-149,000 (per 100 sq meters of Land) there is a huge profit potential, whether investors choose to sell the land immediately upon re zoning, keep possession and get an apartment at an extremely low price, or enter into a combination deal with the contractor."

The entrepreneur who wants to turn Ma'ale Adumim To Orlando:

"I'm better and bigger than Dubai"

He opened a huge design complex and a large indoor amusement park in Mishor Adumim the nearby Industrial Park of Ma'ale Adumim.

Real estate developer Hanoch Kess believes in going big, and in an interview, he explains why customers will travel to Mishor and Ma'ale Adumim even though the prices there are not lower than in the center, what plans do they live in?

He has more projects in the pipeline, and why he advises young people to run to buy an apartment, no matter where in Israel.

38, an ultra-Orthodox resident of Jerusalem, the owner, and CEO of the Kess Group real estate company, who is also responsible for the largest design complex in the country, "D-City", which opened in August in Mishor Adumim, as well as "Magic-Kess", Luna- Park, the indoor amusement park that opened there very recently.

To date, Kess Marketing sold about 5,000 apartments in Israel, some of which he also built. Now he seems to be getting into projects on a much larger scale. After hours of interviewing and many background conversations with those who know him intimately, It's still difficult to decide whether Kess' projects are vision or megalomania, although projects like D-City or Magic Kess Complex You can only judge after months of operation.

Why did you decide to build the latest projects in Ma'ale Adumim? Won't it be difficult to bring people here?

"When I started talking about D-City and Magic Kess, they said, 'A man-made money, now he's going to lose it.' I say: “The real money is in the vision”. It is easier to lose in projects in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem than in Ma'ale Adumim. In the center of the country, in places where the chances of covering land prices, interest rates, bureaucracy, are smaller, this means a loss of tens of millions of shekels.

We said: “either go big or go not at all”. You can not make a mall design of 20,000 sq.m. It must be a sizeable mall and 100,000 sq meters is more appropriate.

After the company has invested a little over a billion NIS in the two projects that have already opened,

Next is also to be built hotels complex with 1,000 rooms for four-star families. Our total investments will reach NIS 2 billion in three to four years from now.

Mr. Kess continues: “What will characterize all the projects will be that the experience, in reality, exceeds expectations. The problem with many projects is (they make beautiful simulations, but in reality, the visitor is getting disappointed. What we actually see here is the opposite effect."

People Are Willing to Pay

When Kess and I wander around his amusement park in Mishor Adumim - whose name, by the way, was recently changed to "Israel Park" I'm getting dizzy from the lights and fixtures going up and down and around, Kess asks me: "Do you remember where you are in? Tell the truth, did you remember that you were in Ma'ale Adumim? When you are in an experience you forget the location. And that's all The story - the experience makes the location. "

The design complex and amusement park do create a kind of wow feeling. The architecture is ornate, grandiose, the one that has accompanied it ever since One and a half million inhabitants, 18 minutes from Jerusalem, with parking for each visitor. Today it is no longer so cheap. When we bought 100 dunams, we paid NIS 300,000 per dunam. Today, a dunam has already been sold for one million, and prices are climbing towards the one and a half million shekels! Yes 1.5M Shekels "

The indoor amusement park complex looks like a giant spaceship that has landed nowhere. It extends over 15,000 sqm + 4,000 sqm balcony and was built with an investment of about NIS 300 million. It features extreme facilities, some of which exist only in a few theme parks around the world. Everything is lit, flickering, and noisy. In addition to the facilities, there are approx. 100 arcade games and gaming halls. Each game costs between 3 and 10 shekels, paid for using an electronic bracelet. The bracelet's charging stations are scattered throughout the compound, and parents can restrict In advance the amount of the charge. The parents have in the center of the second floor, which dominates all the facilities, a work area with armchairs And the possibility of drinking tea & coffee.

How was the idea of the D-City born?

"When I marketed apartments to the American public. They would buy an apartment and be abused during its design period running from one Design Center to another, from Bnei Brak to the port, to Herzliya, to Rishon Lezion. Customers would come to me and ask, what's going on here? Isn’t there a better way of doing it? - So I decided to build something which will give them an answer.

"The claims that the prices are high are due to the impression that visitors get that such an invested place must be expensive, but you get Here are chains that sell at same prices as in all other branches in the country. And there are private stores that give attractive prices, for example Opening now, with 3,300 sqm - a kind of stock store for brands: bedding, toys, complementary furniture, pots, HOM'S products. 50% off the prices of the same products elsewhere. We have everything, "But the expectation when traveling to a place like Mishor Adumim is different.

“We are the most beautiful and technologically advanced.

I'm better and bigger than Dubai.

I was there.”

Leisure culture in Israel is facing a new reality, with the center of gravity shifting to Mishor Adumim.

The main attraction in Mishor Adumim and Design City will be provided by the Piazza - an exact replica of the famous Venice Hotel in Las Vegas, with an artificial reed and cruising gondolas, and an invested dining complex that includes unique chef restaurants, cafes, food markets and dozens of bars. The piazza will offer a lively happening throughout the day with colorful festivals, performances by senior artists alongside street performances.

"Tourists from abroad will also come here, and on the way to or from the Dead Sea they will not skip the many attractions of Mishor Adumim."
