The mayors of Haifa and Tzfat have been summoned to present their emergency preparedness plans to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday as the committee holds a special hearing on lessons learned during the Second Lebanon War of 2006.
Mayor Ilan Shochet of Tzfat said he was asked to present his city's plan, as compared to the city's lack of functioning during the war. He called it an honor for his city to be selected to represent local government as a model of implementing improvements.
