Interior Minister Aryeh Deri visited the protest tent of the Druze community today outside the Knesset and expressed his willingness to address the issues being raised by those protesting.
"Last year, the government decided to allot a significant budget to the Druze community, and the Interior Ministry has already transferred the bulk of the funds," Deri said. "Now, the Druze authorities have received another NIS 20 million in aid to deal with the fallout from the coronavirus epidemic. We intend to address the issues being raised such as planning permission and building projects, and to establish a special body to deal with these issues."
