Did he just leave it empty? Did he sell it or rent it to someone else - another settler? <br /> There needs to be some economic accommodation for settlers that are willing to move into the Green Line (and it would be awesome if the Palestinian refugees could move into their houses, unlike the shameful demolition (by Israel) of settler houses that took place in Gush Katif). I would guess there are many settlers who are ready to move but are waiting for the framework for such a move to be established.</p> Shlomo Wagman's story is great, but it misses an point that I think is important: what happened to his Alon Shvut house?
