Underfunding Arab towns could bring ‘rebellion,’ Herzog warns
Opposition leader and Zionist Union head MK Isaac Herzog charges on Monday that the government is cutting NIS 500 million in funding for developing Arab towns, and calls the move “racist neglect of the just demands for equality and social justice.”
On a tour of Arab villages in the Galilee, Herzog speaks with reporters in the village of Tamra. The budget cuts “sustain the fracture that was created during the elections, and will take us in directions we don’t want to, and must not, go — all the way to civil rebellion,” the lawmaker warns, according to the NRG news site.
