Moshe Davidovich, chairman of the Frontline Communities Forum and head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council, sharply criticized the Likud bill to grant tax benefits to Be'er Sheva residents. In a statement to N12, he said the government appears to have decided that the war is over and northern residents no longer need support, noting that thousands who lived for months under Hezbollah fire still lack adequate shelter protection.
Moshe Davidovich, a veteran representative of northern border communities, delivered a pointed critique of the Likud bill that would extend tax benefits to Be'er Sheva at an annual cost of 600 million shekels, as previously reported by N12. Davidovich's remarks to N12 frame the proposal as a policy failure that sidelines communities that bore the brunt of Hezbollah rocket fire during the current round of hostilities. He contrasted the bill with the ongoing unmet needs of frontline communities, many of which still lack fortified safe rooms (mamadim) despite months under attack. The statement echoes earlier criticism by Davidovich and other northern local leaders regarding the government's civil-defense and economic support for the region. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, Davidovich had previously blasted the Home Front Command's color-coded guidance for the frontline as "blacker than black" even as the rest of the country moved to routine (green) status. The bill's advancement underscores a broader political debate over allocation of state resources between periphery regions, with the Treasury previously opposing expanded tax breaks as ineffective and costly.
