The current administration remains committed to strengthening Sderot and Gaza border communities in the form of financial aid packages, infrastructure, tax incentives and more.

During the media portion of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday 11 Kislev, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the southern communities and his administration’s commitment to those areas.

“Today the Cabinet will approve a plan to strengthen civilian resilience in Sderot and the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip. We are investing over NIS 500 million to benefit the residents. We are doing this with tax breaks, daycare benefits, investments in infrastructures, easements, and assistance to local authorities.

“I must say that the entire area is in perpetual growth. When I go there I am impressed by the construction, by the momentum of the construction, by the demand, there are several buyers for every apartment, and all of this has occurred since Operation Protective Edge.

“Therefore, with the approval of the plan today, we are telling the residents: ‘We will continue to strengthen you. We will continue to strengthen the area around the Gaza Strip. We will continue to strengthen the Negev and the western Negev. We are doing this for you, for the Negev and for the security and future of the State of Israel.’”
