Minister of Tourism, Haim Katz, demanded the immediate establishment of the Exceptions Committee for evacuated residents who have left the hotels and wish to return. Two weeks have passed since residents began to return to their homes, contrary to the agreements, an exception committee was not established.

Wala learned that the government's decision is in the final stages of drafting, and will likely be approved soon in a telephone poll of the government ministers. The state's payment costs to the hotels will be cut by 50 %, in the cases of evacuated soldiers, children and youth in boarding schools.
