Likud: The Bennett government's discussions on stopping planting in the Negev in the face of violent clashes with police forces are a continuation of the sale of the Negev to the Islamic Movement, shortly after it passed the "Electricity Law."

The Netanyahu government has never agreed to stop planting in the face of violence. Not only did the Netanyahu government not stop planting, it also expanded them in an unprecedented way, including an increase of about 3,000 dunams in 2021.

For the first time in the country's history, the Netanyahu government approved a national plan for huge plantings in the Negev, which was budgeted at NIS 150 million and even 15,000 dunams were allocated for planting in the Negev between 2021-2017 to preserve state lands.

Even in isolated cases of disputes with environmental organizations and Bedouin representatives over spotty areas - the plantations continued a few meters near these areas, and a few days later, after the understandings were not reached - the plantations continued within the area itself.

Netanyahu's governments have never stopped planting in the face of violent demonstrations and clashes with security forces.

Unlike Bennett and his associates, who set fire to the area within two days and surrendered to the RAAM and the Islamic movement, Prime Minister Netanyahu planted thousands of dunams in the Negev while maintaining peace and public order.

Smotrich, the head of the "Religious Zionist" party tweeted:

A sad day for the Jewish state.

The Israeli government has succumbed to the terror and violence of the Hamas branch in Israel.

The State of Israel has been sold to the Islamic movement, and there is no red line that this government will not cross in order to survive politically.
Stopping planting in state lands as a surrender to the Rama is a disgrace for which there is no forgiveness.

The Bennett-Abbas government endangers the continuation of the Zionist enterprise.
