Israeli officials approved 250 million shekels to preserve and develop ancient Jewish heritage sites in several regions. The plan includes new centers, tourism infrastructure, and measures to protect sites from looting. The areas covered by the funding are Judea, Samaria, the Jordan Valley, and the Judean Desert.
These regions are currently under Israeli control, though most of the world considers them occupied Palestinian territory.
The allocation supports preservation work and infrastructure improvements at the heritage locations. Officials stated the projects will strengthen connections to historical sites in the designated areas.
The funding decision follows standard procedures for heritage management in territories under Israeli administration. No specific timeline for project completion was provided in the announcement.
