Former Tayibe Mayor Adv. Shuaa Masarwa Mansour has issued a statement refuting claims made by current Mayor Yahya Marai Haj Yahya regarding a "Waste Dump - Land Port Protocol." Masarwa Mansour accused the current mayor of misrepresenting the protocol, stating that his proposal was an alternative to an existing situation, not an attempt to bring a new plan to Tayibe. He alleged that the mayor "cut up" the protocol and falsely presented it, pointing to text in the protocol that he claims indicates the plan involves renovating the Abu Khadija dump site, not establishing a new one. "If you don't know how to read a protocol, it's a disaster, and if you know and try to mislead, it's a catastrophe," Masarwa Mansour stated.
Masarwa Mansour addressed the residents of Tayibe, asserting that their patriotism and commitment to the town's assets are beyond question. He emphasized that Tayibe's lands are a "red line" and that they have actively sought engineering and planning solutions to protect their property from state infrastructure projects. He explained that the protocol he proposed was a courageous alternative aimed at relocating the plan entirely away from citizens' and agricultural lands, to be situated within the boundaries of the former Abu Khadija waste site. The goal, he said, was to renovate the dump, stop further waste from being brought there, and transform the site into a route for the new project, thereby protecting residents' property.
However, Masarwa Mansour lamented that planning committees rejected this proposal, citing complex environmental and engineering constraints and ecological corridor alignments. He condemned attempts by the current mayor and others to distort these efforts for political gain, reiterating his commitment and that of his supporters to defending Tayibe's land through planning and public engagement. He urged residents to read the details for themselves and judge the situation.
