During a recent Knesset session, MK Michael Biton publicly commended Minister of the Negev and Galilee Itzhak Veselov for his responsiveness and dedication to advancing projects in southern and northern Israel. Biton highlighted that despite being in the opposition, he had approached Veselov numerous times with requests, all of which were met with full attention and action. He praised Veselov's leadership as exemplary and expressed a desire to see him serve as a minister in the next government, emphasizing his 100% execution and availability to local communities.

In response, Minister Veselov expressed gratitude and shared that over the past four years, especially since October 7, he had many conversations with Biton about supporting communities affected by crises.

He acknowledged the rare and sincere partnership they developed, marked by mutual respect and a shared commitment to serving the people of Israel.

The exchange underscored a strong working relationship between an opposition MK and a government minister, highlighting cooperation beyond political divides for the benefit of regional development and crisis management in the Negev and Galilee areas.
