The council of Neveh Dekalim, the biggest settlement to be evacuated during the 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip, agreed Tuesday to be relocated to Nitzan, near Ashdod.

During the last two years of negotiations with the Sela Administration, which is responsible for overseeing the resettlement of former Gaza evacuees, the council refused to accept the offer until their demands were met.

The evacuees have been guaranteed a comprehensive relocation of their community, with benefits that will also apply to second-generation residents and to renters.
