Interior Minister Moshe Arbel pens a letter to Givatayim mayor Ran Kunik urging him to reverse a decision to cease all construction work in the town in order to prevent construction workers who are mostly Arab from entering.

“There is a strict prohibition to harming a person’s livelihood on the basis of origin, nationality or religion. Such decisions crush the fabric of common life in the country… and play into the hands of the enemy,” Arbel writes.
