Zionist Union leader Avi Gabbay visited the Jordan Valley together with MK Eitan Broshi and General(Res.) Amiram Levin. Gabbay met with residents, farmers and IDF commanders in the region and said that "we are hearing citizens and security personnel as part of the development of out security strategy. For us security considerations will never be mixed with political demands."
Jordan Valley Regional Council head David Alhiani welcomed the visit and said it proves that the Jordan Valley will always be part of the state of Israel.
