Minister of the Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Yitzhak Wasserlauf sent a letter to Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in which he strongly condemned the cuts that will be imposed on his ministry. "All the ministries have enough coalition funds, including NIS 1.3 billion for the Ministry of Settlements, and only we do not have a proper budget left - come to your senses," he wrote.

The letter was sent after Otzma Yehudit's election promise to contribute to the NeGev region.
