Opposition leader Netanyahu criticized Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov at an event in Beit She'an.

"The decision of the Tourism Minister to halt the budget for tourism in Beit She'an for political reasons is a scandal. We as a government have promoted and invested in tourism and heritage sites projects without any political consideration."

"The tourism project in Beit She'an is important for the city and for Israeli tourism. I call on him to immediately cancel this decision - not for the Likud but to spare him this disgrace.," Netanyahu said.
