Eshkol Regional Council head Gadi Yarkoni was interviewed this morning by Israel Defense Forces Radio in light of the tension in the south.
"For four months we have been in a war that we feel every day and in Jerusalem they don't. Where are the ministers? The prime minister must make an economic plan for the periphery to flourish again." Yarkoni added, "If we were less peaceful and patient people, the state would act differently."
