“All of the heads of the Arab authorities agreed to freeze the demolition of illegal homes in exchange for a commitment that no new illegal homes will be built, until the matter is regulated, Minister of Interior Aryeh Deri said on Wednesday.
According to Deri, “There are currently roughly 50,000 illegal homes within the Arab sector. Some have demolition decrees issued against them. We are working to regulate the matter, while simultaneously encouraging exemplary cities and providing budget bonuses to all Arab authorities.”
