False Claims

For years, Regavim has dealt with issues in the Negev, becoming recognized as a reliable source of knowledge and expertise on issues of land-policy and governance in Israel’s Wild South. Thus, over the last few weeks, members of the "Yemina" and "New Hope" Parties spoke to us about how the impending government should best deal with the Negev issue.
Today, the Yemina Party publicized that the coalition agreements reached were based on Regavim’s advice and understandings. This is false!
We agreed to talk to Yemina on condition that the Bedouin Settlement Authority, the government body that determines policy and enforcement regarding the Negev, will be in the hands of MK Ayelet Shaked, rather than the hands of Mansour Abbas’ Islamist Party "Ra'am". This commitment was breached by Yemina!
Once the Interior Knesset Committee and the Bedouin Settlement Authority, the key actors in the Negev issue, were given to Raam (which is able to bring down the government at any time) the Negev was essentially abandoned.
It’s not right to commit to something, break the promise, and then claim that the agreements were reached based on “understandings” with Regavim.
