The Ministry of Development of the Negev and the Galilee announced this evening (Wednesday) that it will approve an additional budget of up to half a million shekels in favor of safety arrangements for the Baba Sally celebration next week.

This, after earlier today the police issued a cancellation order for an event in Netivot, which is attended by tens of thousands every year.

The Ministry of Development of the Negev and the Galilee announced the finding of a solution in a letter to Netivot Mayor Yehiel Zohar.

Earlier, the order to cancel the event was issued after the commander of the Negev region, Lt. Gen. Nachshon Nagler, realized that there was no reasonable possibility of complying with the provisions of the Safety Law by the time of the celebration event.

The entry of the general public into the area of ​​the tomb and the fenced compound around it was forbidden.

"The police call on the public to obey this directive and not to come to the Zion compound on the day of the celebration. Any violation of the order and as necessary, the police will take the necessary measures to prevent the entry of the general public and the public celebration at the Baba Sally Foundation," it said.

The right was quick to attack the decision and even threatened not to obey the directive.

MK Yaakov Margi (Shas) declared today in the plenum that the public will not respect the police announcement that prohibits the celebration of Baba Sally in Netivot, and said that he and hundreds of thousands will come to the place.

The chairman of Religious Zionism, Bezalel Smutritz, called the decision a "shame," and accepted that "the mass celebrations of the end of the civil year will take place without any restriction and only the Baba Sally revelry is canceled.

No words".
