The local arena in the panel of heads of regional councils on housing and real estate (Walla system!)
Heads of regional councils in Walla's 'Local Arena' program!
For a conversation on real estate, housing and the future of agriculture
The regional government center brings together 54 regional councils.
The heads of the regional councils face the challenges of real estate and housing, the preservation of the open spaces, the reform of agriculture, and the preservation of the quality of the environment. We are with us today on the panel of the heads of the councils, from whom we can get an overview of the issues and challenges that are on the public agenda.

Shay Hajaj, chairman of the regional government center and head of the Merhavim regional council
- it's time to burst the real estate bubble they call the center of the country.
The State of Israel needs to make a brave decision to establish two new metropolises, in the Negev and the Galilee and make our young people come to the Negev and the Galilee.
In order to lower real estate prices, it is necessary to take another action. Today, 50% of the apartment's value is the price of the land, and who determines the price, the Israel Lands Authority. to the local authorities. We will build with the help of our economic companies, at construction cost prices and according to criteria that the state will determine, we will give the young couples apartments at cost prices. We need brave people in the Israeli government to make decisions, there is no reason why there should not be a train from Beer Sheva to Tel Aviv in half an hour and then there is no periphery.
Osherat Gani Gonen, Head of the South Sharon Regional Council and Chairman of the Planning and Lands Committee
- What we see recently in the planning institutions is the unbearable ease with which open spaces are taken, because it is the easiest, because it belongs to the state.
Open and agricultural areas are taken and turned into development areas, when many times this is not necessary.
The city can still gather in. It has more land reserves.
This will be a cry for generations, because these open spaces are the last green lungs left in the State of Israel.
In recent years they took 100 thousand dunams from the open areas, they took plantations, cut down trees and nothing was done with them and they are neglected areas.
We, the heads of the authorities, keep this green for everyone.
Eli Bracha, Head of the Regional Council Outside the Sharon, Chairman of the Economy and Transportation Committee
- The factors hindering the development of national infrastructures are the bureaucracy, the Israel Lands Administration, planning authorities and geographic committees. That's where the barriers are.
Meir Tzur, Head of the Middle Arab Regional Council and Chairman of the Committee agriculture
- The State of Israel which is based on food imports based on the development of local agriculture.
It will end in disaster.
The pig culture in the field of marketing and the disparity between the farmers and the prices sold in the market, this did not exist years ago, it is increasing.
Only the intervention of the legislator, to limit the mediation gaps.
Paying NIS 25 for a kilo of tomatoes makes no sense, after all the farmer sells it for 3 NIS or on Yom Tov for 5 NIS.
The ban on fruit and vegetable imports will not lower prices in the long run, but will increase them.
Doron Shidlov, Head of the Brenner Regional Council and Chairman of the Environmental Committee
- there is accelerated construction in the State of Israel and I do not see that there are solutions for end sites for dumping construction waste and most of the time they are dumped in the open areas. Sometimes in a pirate way in agricultural areas, there is not enough enforcement in this area. Once construction waste is dumped For agricultural areas, it harms nature, the streams, the animals.
