Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the government has approved the development of a group of towns in the Negev, one of which will be named after slain Gaza hostage St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili.
In the Sunday announcement, the prime minister said that one of the towns will be named Ranenim "after Israel’s hero, the late Ran Gvili, whom we are, at this very moment, making an enormous effort to bring back."
Construction and Housing Minister Haim Katz and National Missions Minister Orit Strock announced the development with Netanyahu at a Sunday cabinet meeting.
