Residents of northern Israel feel largely abandoned, says Moshe Davidovitz, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chairman of the forum of residents on the northern frontline.
Speaking to Channel 13, Davidovitz says “it’s been over 100 days that [residents] are sequestered in hotels with their kids and just like the government isn’t speaking to the families of the hostages, they aren’t speaking to us either.”
“The prime minister and the defense minister are not speaking to us,” he says, adding that he does support Israel’s demand to push Hezbollah back from the border but is unclear on the plan going forward.
“We want to return home, the residents want to return home,” he says.
“We bury our dead in the middle of night, it’s unreal,” he says, demanding a solution.
