Responding to Raviv Drucker's report on Israel' s Channel 13 News that the Likud's negotiation team has floated a repeal of the Kaminitz Law in return for political security, Regavim Director Meir Deutsch clarified:
“Any government that repeals the Kaminitz Law - whether it is headed by Netanyahu or Gantz - will be abandoning the Negev and the Galilee, leaving our state lands at the mercy of continued illegal construction that threatens the most precious resource we have: Israel’s land reserves.
"The Kaminitz Law gives enforcement authorities the tools needed to uphold the law and ensure responsible use of our national assets. Using the law’s repeal as a bargaining chip undermines the authorities’ ability to fulfill their duty. Repealing the law would be the antithesis of Zionist public policy, and would set Israel back to the 'wild west' days of rampant illegal construction."
