At its weekly meeting on Sunday morning, the Cabinet will approve the draft decision to advance a plan to develop Druze communities initiated by Prime Minister Netanyahu. This is a direct continuation of the protests in the Golan Heights a week ago and the demands reached by Netanyahu, among other things, in his meeting with the head of the Druze community.

As part of the decision, a committee headed by the Director General of the Prime Minister's Office will be established, in which various government agencies will work to remove barriers to housing and planning for members of the Druze sector. As part of the decision, the current budget of the Druze and Circassian communities will be reinforced as part of a reexamination that will be conducted within one month of the approval of the decision.
Five-Year Plan for 2024 to 2028
As part of the decision, Netanyahu also wants to promote a new five-year plan for the Druze and Circassian sectors for the years 24-28, which will be approved by the government by the end of this year.

As noted, this is Netanyahu's promise to the head of the Druze community during the talks held by the two following widespread protests by members of the sector, in which police officers and a police station were even injured.
What sparked the riots at the time was the beginning of work on the construction of turbines in the Golan Heights, but even then, mayors and representatives of the sector announced that the construction problems in the sector were behind the heat.
