The Minister of the Negev, the Galilee and National Resilience, Yitzhak Wasserlauf welcomes the government's decision to strengthen the authorities and the community resilience of the residents of the Gaza Strip.
"Our election promise was, among other things, to strengthen the residents of the Gaza Strip region, so I decided to double the budget from NIS 11.5 million to over NIS 25 million."
"The investment in the surrounding settlements has proven itself and led to a 39% growth in the volume of positive immigration in this area, despite the well-known security difficulties. It is a winning model that we are happy to strengthen and copy to other regions in the Negev and the Galilee to lead to growth and development in them as well."
