In a letter sent to the Prime Minister, the Minister of Construction and Housing points the finger at the Israel Land Authority. The letter follows a letter from the heads of the Galilee councils to the PM.
In the letter, the heads accuse the Land Authority of restricting the development of settlements in the region. They say the move is hurting the growth of the region's economy and will lead to a decline in the number of people living in the area. The Prime Minister's office says the letter was sent in response to a request for information.
