Postal Company to issue stamp to commemorate Gush Katif
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Israel, Uri Ariel, gush katif 

The Israel Postal Company will print a stamp to commemorate the Gush Katif settlements in the Gaza Strip, which were evacuated two-and-a-half years ago, Haaretz has learned.

The government approved the layout for the stamp several days ago. It will feature prominent symbols from Gush Katif: the yeshiva at Neveh Dekalim, tomatoes -- which were the main agricultural product, the orange ribbon that symbolized the struggle against the eviction and all 23 names of the Gush Katif settlements.

The stamp will also carry a quote from the Book of Amos: "Never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them."

MK Uri Ariel from the National Religious Party, who heads the Knesset lobby for the evacuees, initiated the stamp's issuing.

He told Haaretz it would celebrate the "grand project" of settlement in Gush Katif.
