Beer Sheva Mayor Ruvik Danilovich convened a press conference and protested that there is no orderly plan for the Negev.
'I understood from my meetings with the heads of state that there is no strategic plan for the Negev. The police are battered and bruised. In their current state and [with their current] manpower, they are unable to deal with the civilian terrorism, it is too big for them,' Danilovich said.
