The Regavim movement launched an outdoor campaign in southern Israel overnight, urging the public and elected officials to prioritize the Negev in the national agenda. The campaign highlights illegal construction and calls for continued enforcement and regulation to restore state control.
The Regavim movement, a prominent Israeli research and advocacy organization focused on land use policy and sovereignty, launched a new outdoor campaign in southern Israel overnight. The campaign, titled 'This Time We Choose the Negev,' urges the public and elected officials to make the Negev a national priority. It highlights illegal construction and calls for continued enforcement, alongside regulatory measures to restore state control. In a statement, Regavim said: 'The public in the Negev demands clear answers and actions on the ground. We will not agree to go back. We call on voters to choose those who commit to protecting the Negev: to continue enforcement, stop the illegal takeover, and return the state and the law to every inch of the land.' The movement has previously warned about security risks from unchecked illegal construction, as The Zioneer reported in June 2026, when Regavim condemned a shooting attack in the seam zone and argued that illegal construction had created a haven for crime and terror. Regavim's legal department frequently petitions the High Court of Justice to enforce demolition orders, particularly against structures built by Palestinian and Bedouin populations in violation of zoning laws.
