In an interview with Galei Tzahal, Ofir Liebstein, head of the Sha'ar Hanegev Council, referred to tensions in the south.
"We know that this situation continues, we have been living like this for 20 years. Until there is a significant change in Israel's policy, we will continue to live in this way," Liebstein said, adding: "A different economic reality must be created here by developing the region. Also in Gaza - so they have what to lose."
