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 - Its founders were members of the HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed movement(Federation of Young Students and Workers, most commonly translated as Working and Studying Youth - colloquially known as Noar HaOved and abbreviated No'al[5] an Israeli youth movement, a sister movement of Habonim Dror, and affiliated with the Labor Zionist movement), who had been preparing in Maoz Haim, as well as some Hebrew scouts. It was named after Berl Katznelson, as Be'eri was his Pseudonym.[6]
