11 points in the Negev refers to a Jewish Agency plan for establishing eleven settlements in the Negev in 1946, prior to the partition of Palestine and the establishment of the State of Israel.
History
A plan to establish eleven "points" of Jewish settlement in the Negev was devised in order to assure a Jewish presence in the area prior to the partition of Palestine.[1] This followed the publication of the Morrison-Grady partition proposal, in which the Negev was to be part of an Arab state.[2] Together, the Jewish National Fund, the Jewish Agency, the Haganah and the Mekorot water company launched a drive to settle the Negev in order to have the Negev included as part of a Jewish state.[2]
On the night of October 5–6, after the Yom Kippur fast, the settlers, including members of Kibbutz Ruhama and Gvulot, set up camp at eleven pre-determined locations in the Negev.[3][4] The eleven settlements were (in alphabetic order):[2]
- Kibbutz Be'eri
- Kibbutz Gal On - From Kibbutz Artzi/Hashomer Hatzair
- Kibbutz Hatzerim - Led by Yaakov Sharrett (some of Moshe Sharrett the second Prime Minister of Israel.
- Kibbutz Kedma
- Kibbutz Kfar Darom
- Kibbutz Mishmar HaNegev
- Kibbutz Nevatim
- Kibbutz Nirim - From Kibbutz Artzi/Hashomer Hatzair
- Kibbutz Shoval - From Kibbutz Artzi/Hashomer Hatzair
- Kibbutz Tkuma
- Kibbutz Urim
