The head of the Mount Hebron Regional Council, Yochai Damari, responded to the approval of the Electricity Law.
"A sad day for the State of Israel. The State of Israel today has chosen to maintain a racial preference. The State of Israel discriminates against children, girls and young families only because of their place of residence.
He added, "In the State of Israel of 2022, civilians who have invaded and illegally built state lands can enjoy electricity and running water, while the children of the young settlement, whom the state sent them to establish settlements and strengthen strategic points, remain cold.
"Someone explain to me why Ahmed from the Qawa'in tribe deserves electricity, and 7 km away in the village of Abigail, Danny Cohen does not deserve electricity and a hot shower? This is a dark day for the State of Israel. Which leaves its loyalists and lovers, servants, and taxpayers in the dark. "
