Shomron Council head calls MDA reduction 'disregard for human life'

Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan contacted the Prime Minister's Office following the closing of MDA stations in Judea and Samaria demanding that Prime Minister Netanyahu convene an emergency meeting on the issue in the United States.

"A week after the attack, shamelessly, after cutting back on the number of soldiers in the area and refusing to meet needs of 400 million shekels for security components, they add insult to injury and close MDA stations, abandoning the lives of half-a-million residents of Judea and Samaria literally.

"The government of Israel and MDA should be ashamed. While there's a national government the Prime Minister's Office, the Health Ministry, Finance Ministry, and the National Organization of MDA cut budgets a week after the terrible attack. I'm ashamed how my government is behaving. Magen David Adom National Committee of the State of Israel - this is disgrace. The Prime Minister must convene a discussion in Washington and resolve this story. We cannot be hostages of ego wars and budgetary wars over millions every year. This is human life here. People may be killed, and killed as a result of this," he added.
