Following the decision to freeze the JNF's planting project in the south, the Regavim movement says that the government's folding is a backbone to the next wave of terror and violence, and to the continuation of the state's protection payments to Mansour Abbas.
"The United Arab List party and the Bedouins understood that they would influence the government's steps through pressure and severe violence. Anyone who succumbs to terror and pressure invites the next wave of violence. Bennett and Shaked asked the public to examine the government in deeds and not in words. As of today, the government’s decision to surrender and freeze the plantings is an act in itself. The voice is the voice of Shaked, and the deeds are the deeds of Abbas. "
