British Jewish millionaire Cyril Stein last week flew from London to Israel to attend a house warming party in Givat Harel, an illegal outpost in the West Bank, Ynetnews reported.
Stein, 79, was a guest of honor as he funded the house's construction. Stein does not want to give up his lavish lifestyle to live in the outpost, so a family from Givat Harel purchased the house and the money will be redirected to new construction projects for settlers.
Wealthy Diaspora Jews have been known to provide funds for settler construction projects in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, or to buy homes in those areas.
The Yesha council, the umbrella organization representing the Jewish communities in Gaza and the West Bank, launched a campaign recently to encourage American Jews to purchase homes in government-approved projects in the West Bank. |
