6 ottob 1946 anni - 11 points in the Negev

Descrizione:

The "11 points in the Negev" was a strategic initiative by the Jewish Agency in 1946 to establish eleven settlements in the Negev Desert. This move was a direct response to the Morrison-Grady Plan, which suggested that the Negev would be part of an Arab state in a proposed partition of Palestine. The settlements were intended to secure a Jewish presence in the area, potentially influencing its designation as part of a future Jewish state in any political partition.

The plan was executed on the night of October 5-6, 1946, following the Yom Kippur fast. It involved coordinated efforts by the Jewish National Fund, the Jewish Agency, the Haganah, and the Mekorot water company, highlighting its significance and the level of organization behind it. The newly established settlements included Be'eri, Gal On, Hatzerim, Kedma, Kfar Darom, Mishmar HaNegev, Nevatim, Nirim, Shoval, Tkuma, and Urim, each strategically located to maximize the Jewish presence across the Negev. This initiative was crucial for the demographic and political dynamics leading up to the establishment of the State of Israel.
