A recent meeting of the National Security Committee of the Knesset stated that the state has lost sovereignty in the Negev.

The request stated that the frequent shooting in the context of gang wars in Bedouin settlements adjacent to the settlement has even claimed the lives of innocent people who were hit by stray bullets and endangers the lives of residents every day in the settlement.

It was also claimed that despite the Negev Region Police’s attempt to meet with Bedouin dignitaries and heads of authorities to maintain peace in the area in light of the war in Gaza, the shooting continued, and no appropriate solution was found.

MK Shalom Danino noted that this concerns all of the settlements of Meitar, Carmit, Hora, and Tel Sheva and that this is a problem that has layers of impending disaster. “Children are afraid to go around, and these are events that have already turned into heavy shooting every day. This is a violation of the country’s sovereignty beyond harming the quality of life. If necessary, the government, in a temporary emergency order, should present a real work plan on how to eradicate the problem.

MK Yosef Atauna said that the issue of shooting is not just a problem for the Jewish settlements but for the entire Negev. “The demand from the police is unequivocal that they deal with this phenomenon. There are things that only the state can handle

Senior Lieutenant Arkady Shuster, commander of the Eirat station in the police, said that in the Negev, there has been an increase of tens of percent in shooting incidents in all districts.

Ron Israeli, of the NGO Regavim, claimed that this shooting is documented on social media and if a person feels comfortable doing it, either he is not afraid of the police or to gain respect from society. “This is a dangerous combination that threatens the residents of the area and has precipitated severe violence,” he said.

VonNaftali: Israel is losing sovereignty in all arenas. The government can’t even swiftly dismiss a bureaucrat, although the law empowers the government to do so. The deep state sabotages the state. Media and radical left NGOs funded by foreign funds deploy these by the deep state fabricated failures to blame the government.
