A conference held by the Democrats party in Nahariya was disrupted by activists from Otzma Yehudit on Wednesday evening. Approximately 700 party members and supporters, including the parents of Sivan Sadeh, who was killed by a rocket from Lebanon, were present. The Democrats pledged that the rehabilitation of border communities would be a top priority for the next government.
According to the Democrats party, Otzma Yehudit activists gathered outside the venue, shouting slogans such as "Germans to Germany" and "Traitorous leftists." The party claims these activists then stormed the conference, throwing stones. Two individuals were detained and arrested.
During the event, Racheli Sadeh, mother of the late Sivan Sadeh, took the stage. Attendees reported that the disruptive activists continued to shout and interfere even during her speech, which was described as a painful moment for those present.
The Democrats party issued a statement saying, "We have stopped being afraid. The shame of Otzma Yehudit members for disrupting the words of the parents of Sivan Sadeh will remain with them forever. On October 27, we will replace the government that abandoned and collapsed the North, take responsibility, and ensure the border communities are our top priority."
Democrats Chairman Yair Golan addressed the situation, emphasizing his deep connection to the North and his commitment to its recovery. He outlined the party's new national priorities, stating they would return to the "path of Rabin" and redirect budgets from tax evaders and illegal outposts to the North and the Western Negev. Golan envisions these areas becoming safe and prosperous, attracting young families.
The party also revealed key aspects of its plan, which includes legislation for the rehabilitation of the "Tanufah" region, similar to the law enacted for the "Tkuma" region in the south. This plan proposes establishing a special ministerial committee, headed by Golan, to promote the North. The Democrats aim to secure ministerial responsibility for the "Tanufah" administration and implement government programs for the region. They intend to formulate a multi-year government plan for the North's rehabilitation and development with a budget of NIS 15 billion over at least seven years.
