PM proposes areas with many immigrants get priority status, aid
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asks the cabinet to approve declaring areas with large numbers of immigrants as areas of national priority.
“These areas will receive significant benefit,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri says such areas “have suffered from years of harm to their quality of life.” He says the government will devote funds to building renovations and financial and social aid to communities.
The program includes NIS 20 million in aid.
