There is an urgent need for the Tkuma program as a concept (restoration or rebuilding) and as a template for regional and national growth. Rebuilding the homes and communities destroyed by the Hamas invasion on October 7 is a sacred duty; some quarter of a million people are currently displaced as a result of the war. The government has already committed a provisional budget of NIS 18 billion to develop a regional strategy to accelerate the healing process of the area known as Otef Aza<\/em> (\u2018Gaza envelope\u2019 or the Gaza perimeter communities), that encompasses Sderot and kibbutzim and moshavim within 5 miles approximately of the border with Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also an opportunity to elevate the region by rebuilding with a vision that goes beyond the familiar slogan of \u2018Build Back Better\u201d. Amit Bracha, CEO of Adam Teva V\u2019Din notes that, \u201cAdam Teva V\u2019Din endorses the timely launch of the Tkuma Directorate. There\u2019s no time to waste. We all need to see evidence of revival and restoration in order for Israel as a national to overcome the pain of loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continues, \u201cWe submitted to the Tkuma Directorate our position that revival must be based on achieving environmental sustainability for the region, along with local economic growth engines that will reinforce the long-term viability of communities and their livelihoods. Our years of service as Israel\u2019s national environmental watchdog have taught us that there must be vigilance and a vision right from the start, if the Tkuma project is to avoid the pitfalls evident in our poorly planned infrastructure, polluted natural resources and woefully inadequate transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam Teva V\u2019Din is calling for the revival to be planned as a model of environmental resilience based on strengthening agriculture sustainability in line with the climate crisis, and prioritizing local produce in the marketplace. Rebuilding must incorporate a local energy economy based on renewable energies and an improved distribution grid with energy storage; construction must be based on Green Building; waste management systems must be modern and resource-efficient; and planning procedures must be comprehensive and accelerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast but not least,\u201d comments Bracha, \u201cthe Tkuma process must be open to participation of the public and local authorities if rebuilding is to be a true revival, a process of healing and restoration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
