Two Arab community figures, Gana'im and Trif, warned that closing the 'Ryan' program would harm employment opportunities for thousands of young people and could hinder efforts to combat violence and crime in Arab society, according to N12 news. Trif wrote that closing the centers after the war that damaged the north's economy would constitute 'social irresponsibility' and a severe blow to the economic resilience of young people.
According to a report by N12 journalist Sharon Kanovlich, warnings from Gana'im and Trif — two figures in Arab society — highlight concerns over the closure of the 'Ryan' program. The program appears to be a youth employment initiative. The warnings come in the context of the aftermath of the war in the north, which severely damaged the region's economy. Trif described the closure as 'social irresponsibility' and a severe blow to the economic resilience of young members of the community. The exact nature of the 'Ryan' program and the timeline for its closure remain unclear.
