Minister of Transportation Yisrael Katz spoke with Army Radio about the number of deaths from car accidents.
"There upward and downward trends," Katz said. "We're dealing with it. Since I took the position in 2009 there is a 30% downward trend in number of deaths from accidents," he said.
"The driver is responsible, he's the one sitting at the wheel. There are modern distractions and wild driving [...] We see what happens, for example in the Arab sector. Last year, 35% of those who died in car accidents were from the Arab sector."
