No funding for barrier to protect Gaza border communities
- 8 years ago
A heated debate erupted in a State Control Committee meeting in the Knesset on Wednesday morning, after the heads of Gaza border communities discovered that the Ministries of Finance and Defense are not aware of plans for the "barrier project" intended for the area.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon recently declared to the community heads and Southern Command officers that the barrier was the most important security issue concerning Gaza.
"If they don't make an effort to protect the area then families will not come to live here," Raz added.
"In August 2014, during a closed meeting of the Southern Command, the prime minister and the defense minister promised to build a border fence," Yellin said.
