MK MIri Regev (Likud) has called on Finance Minister Yair Lapid to annul a special tax, levied on residents of the Gaza Belt region, to build bomb shelters in every home.
According to a report on Israel Radio, Regev criticised the government for “capitlizing” on the frustrations felt by residents of the south.
