T. Belman. This is truly shocking. I am against the legalizing of the land grab in the Negev by the Bedouins. I think the Kaminitz Law does not apply to illegal construction in Area C. Problem is Bibi offered them even more.
Another thing I don’t like is the agreement to give Arabs equal proportionate representation in Government jobs regardless of qualifications.
United Arab List’s coalition agreement with Yesh Atid: Over 52b poured into plans for Arab sector, no enforcement of construction laws.

The United Arab List (Ra’am) on Thursday morning unveiled its coalition agreement with Yesh Atid, making it the first time in decades that an Arab party has joined the Israeli government.
As part of the agreement, party demanded and received 30 billion shekel for a plan aiming to integrate the Arab sector, and another 2.5 billion shekels for a plan to reduce crime in the Arab sector. In addition, 20 billion shekel will be set aside for a ten-year plan to improve infrastructure in the sector, and 500 million shekel will be set aside for “supporting the local authorities.”
The United Arab List (UAL) will also chair the Knesset’s Interior Committee and the Special Committee on Arab Society Affairs, and will receive the position of Deputy Knesset Speaker.
It was also agreed that the government will amend the Kaminetz Law within the first 120 days after it is sworn in.
The government will also extend the freeze on enforcement, fines, and destruction of illegal buildings until 2024. In addition, a request will be submitted by the Prime Minister and Alternate Prime Minister to the Attorney General, regarding the fines which have already been issued.
In addition, within 45 days from the government’s swearing-in, three illegal Bedouin villages in the Negev will be granted legitimacy. Within nine months of the government’s swearing-in, most of the illegal villages will have been granted legitimacy.
The number of housing units marketed specifically to the Arab sector will be increased to ten thousand, and the National Committee for Planning and Constructing Priority Housing Buildings will be resurrected.
The new government will also ensure that Arab representation in public offices and companies is appropriate to their percentage of the general population.
A ministerial committee for issues in Arab society will be formed, along with a government staff comprised of the Prime Minister, Alternate Prime Minister, and UAL Chairman. The staff will follow issues in Arab society and work to find solutions by working directly with the Prime Minister’s Office.
Not enforce building codes!?!? That engenders disrespect for government and is dangerous to health and safety. Institutionalized slum construction ensures their continued poverty, crime and lack of integration. It also encourages them to cooperate with EU NGOs to build in obstructive locations per PA instructions to block continuity of WB Jewish resettlement. Obvious betrayal of state interests.
These men who rejoiced of their comrade’s rockets and likely could be found among rioters of Lod are so enriched so soon following such misdeeds. No political arrangement should willingly provide the tapestry that this image affords.
And whithin hours of the news of these thefted land right grants being allowed, we hear of the intent of Minister Gantz off to Washington where he will sell the rights of Jewish settlements building to further appease our enemies.
It should be apocraphy to allow either of these at anytime. And yet here we are with each of these events soon to be our reality, nearly simultaneously coordinated, and while the rocket debris is still freshly pulled from their intended sites of ruin. This is what tragedy looks like.
