The first 5,600 housing units in the new chareidi community of Charish are expected to be announced for sale in the coming days, event before Pesach.

Housing Minister (Shas) Ariel Atias made the announcement this week as he toured the site of the new community, accompanied by senior ministry officials.

There are protests surrounding the planned community, with many calling on state officials to downsize the planned Nachal I’ron area community, stating the current plan will simply result in devastation to the remaining nature areas in Nachal I’ron.
