‘Southerners can’t accept temporary truces’

Residents of southern Israel can’t accept temporary ceasefires that don’t allow a “real” return to normal life, Sdot Negev council chairman Tamir Idan says.

Idan tells Israel Radio that the people of southern Israel still live in a state of emergency, as they have for over a month, which prevents their lives from returning to normal.

He also says the uncertain situation is hampering the council’s efforts to prepare for the upcoming school year.
