“Tourism must reach that area and the horrors of that terrible Saturday must be remembered and documentedhe added.

For this reason, the creation of a museum is also being considered, which would serve as a monument and tribute to the victims, and which would consist of three parts.

“These three sections are about the establishment of the State of Israel until October 7, another about the events of October 7 with videos, testimonies, interviews and a third part about the reconstruction, the tourist part,” Minister Katz explained.

This is how this area is “one of the three most important tourist destinations in the State of Israel, after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem”.

“It is true that a national trauma has occurred here, but our mission will be to revitalize the place and make it an area accessible by road or train, not to mention the economic importance it will have and the jobs it will create for its residents,” said Katz.
