MK Tamar Zandberg (Meretz), who also spoke at the demonstration, said that "we, Jews and Arabs, say together: The State of Israel needs a national plan.
It's not just a matter of Arabs, it's not a backyard.
The State of Israel needs to put the issue up, because we are all - Jews and Arabs - insecure until the last of the children, men and women is unsafe. "
