The chairman of the Interior Committee, MK Miki Haimovich (blue and white), today (Tuesday) instructed the Prime Minister's Office to inform the committee within two weeks whether and how the government intends to change the treatment of the danger of the cliffs collapsing on the beaches.

"These are the laws of souls. Along 45 kilometers of the beach, from Ashkelon in the south to Hadera in the north, there is an unstable cliff 10 to 45 meters high," Haimovich said at a committee hearing on the coastal cliff destruction process. "Neglect in care could lead to the deaths of civilians, as happened last year to a 9-year-old boy. Time is running out." Haimovich called for providing the government company for the protection of the Mediterranean coast cliffs, which was established to address the danger, with tools and budgets to deal with the problem - not only in the water as approved so far, but also in the land areas.

Herzliya Mayor Moshe Fadlon and Emek Hefer Council Chairman Galit Shaul joined her call, declaring that the local authorities, which are currently responsible for the land part, will fully assist in the treatment: "Six authorities cannot invest hundreds of millions of shekels in the issue. , "Said Fadlon.

The director of the budget and development department in the local authorities in the Ministry of the Interior, Sivan Lehavi, reinforced their words: "The government must recover, there is a national crisis here like the sinkhole problem in the Dead Sea." Ashkelon Mayor Tomer Glam also joined in with his support: "We have approached the Ministry of the Interior several times since January, but we have not been approved a budget so that we can move forward. I take out the municipality's money, but it is not returned to me. ". Then the person in charge of budget control at the Ministry of the Interior, Naama Koren, answered him: "Three million shekels were transferred to the Ashkelon municipality. I do not know about funds that were delayed."

Galit Cohen, Deputy Director General of Planning at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said at the hearing: "There are no barriers to maritime defenses, we are advancing at a rapid pace. In contrast, land defenses are not advancing in most local authorities. The main obstacle is a lack of budget. "

The Head of Projects in the Prime Minister's Office, Kfir Excellent, announced that his office will review the recommendation to transfer full authority and provide the necessary tools to the government company. He qualified his remarks by saying that this was not a budget problem: "There is a lack of cooperation on the part of some of the parties. Local authorities want to determine for themselves what their beach will look like."

MK Moshe Arbel said in response: "I feel that government ministries are dripping from place to place. This is a scandal, it is a matter of real mental supervision. "
