Professional defense sources told Ha'aretz that Netanyahu's plan to relocate
the Ulpana homes cannot be implemented.
They say you can relocate the homes and that there is no place to build the
number of homes (10 for each moved) per the Netanyahu plan.
...The first phase of the solution that Netanyahu considered for the five
buildings including cutting them off and transferring them a few hundred
meters away.
... But experts in the matter said it was not possible, or alternatively
will cost huge sums of money, and it is doubtful that it can done in the
short time until the first of July.
In the case of the buildings moved in Tel Aviv, five houses were moved a
distance of thirty meters. That planning process took a year and cost 24
million. Also, the houses were mounted on tracks and pushed down the tracks
to the new location.
In the case of the Ulpana homes, the buildings were not built on the
plateau, but instead to fit the terrain of the mountainous area. It is thus
doubtful if any of the homes can be moved this way.
Netanyahu promises 10 homes for every home to be transferred...subject to
approval of the Attorney General. But there are perhaps 20 dunam of state
land remaining upon which they can build of which 11 dunam are already
planned for a temporary transit camp.
