Interesting. By what political/military action do you propose could
this be established on a spot within the IF?

For my New Israeli timeline, I expanded and moved on from the original GZG
entry:

2027 April 23; Destruction of the State of Israel by Islamic terrorist action.
Nuclear devices destroy Tel Aviv, Haifa, and most shocking to the world,
Jerusalem. Biological weapons unleashed across the country kill additional
millions within Israel and the surrounding nations. 2028 Fallout from the
Israeli devastation renders most of Jordan and parts of Lebanon, Egypt, Syria,
Iraq, and Saudi Arabia uninhabitable.
....
2048 On the 100th anniversary of Yom Ha’atzmaut, a heavily armed
contingent of Jewish radicals led by David Ben-Arieh, grandson of a
WW-II concentration camp survivor, “retake Israel” by occupying the
radioactive wastes in and between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. They intend to

keep the homeland occupied until the inevitable return from what they call the
Second Exodus. The community survives under quiet sponsorship from other world
governments, some of whom feel a debt of guilt, others a strategic
opportunity. Some supply money, some arms and technology to combat the harsh
conditions and rehabilitate ruins. Quiet, but significant words are spoken to
the surrounding Arab states from several

major powers discouraging harassment of the remaining Israelis. A ragged

Jewish community clings to the symbolism as a hope of rebuilding what was
destroyed.
....
2159 The Year of Recovery. Several census organizations estimate that

the total interstellar Jewish population passes the pre-World War II
levels. The population of Old Israel is around 30,000 predominantly religious
inhabitants, growing very slowly as land is decontaminated and

reclaimed one hectare at a time.
....
At FB2 Present (2190s): Old Israel A tight, militant community of 70 thousand
“Shomrim” (guardians) live in
the radioactive and bio-hazardous wastes in and between Jerusalem and
Tel-Aviv, slowly decontaminating and reclaiming land. By the early
2190's about half of Old Tel-Aviv is one again habitable - the central
region consisting of a large crater. With the Old City of Jerusalem a plane of
glass, decontamination and reclamation efforts focus on the surrounding
valleys and hills.
