"The planting work in the Negev has been planned for a long time, as revealed this morning by the chairman of the JNF workers' committee," says the Religious Zionism Party.
"Any attempt by the government and Minister Elkin to stop the work at the end of the day, claiming that it was planned in advance, is a shameful surrender to terrorism and violence promoted by the United Arab List and their supporters in the Negev. The Bennett Abbas government endangers the continuation of the Zionist enterprise."
