Smotrich Calls for Radical Change in Galilee After Pro-Palestinian Chants
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has strongly criticized pro-Palestinian chants heard in Majd al-Krum, located in the Galilee region. He described the situation as reflecting a "loss of governance and control" and called for a significant shift in Israel's policy towards the Galilee and the Negev.
Smotrich's remarks came in response to recent activities in Majd al-Krum, which he deemed a threat requiring a "radical change" in how the area is managed. He asserted that his party, Religious Zionism, has developed a plan to alter the reality in both the Negev and Galilee.
He also specifically attacked Benny Gantz, accusing him of relying on Mansour Abbas. Smotrich vowed to implement the "model" his government is applying in the West Bank to the Galilee and Negev. These statements have been characterized as incitement against the Arab community in the region.
