Regavim's Director General Meir Deutsch: "We're in the Negev to support the Israeli government's firm stand against Bedouin threats of violence. We're in the Negev to applaud the protection of state land. We're here to applaud the pioneering spirit of Israel, expressed in the KKL forestation project making Israeli state land in the Negev bloom."
