Parties Offer Empathy, Not Budgets, to Peripheral Region Leaders

Dozens of Israeli local authority heads from the Negev and Galilee regions are demanding concrete financial commitments from major political parties for a national development plan. The plan, supported by the Or Movement, aims to transform these areas into "Israel's new centers" with an estimated 100 billion shekels in government funding over a decade. While six parties expressed support, most offered general empathy rather than specific budget allocations, with only the Yashar! party pledging a concrete sum. Leaders emphasize the urgent need for investment following recent crises.
