Prime Minister's Office - Tekuma Authority Joint Announcement: Tekuma Authority Strategic Five-Year Plan to Rebuild, Strengthen and Develop the Tekuma Region was Unanimously Approved by the Government and is Underway

The Tekuma Authority's strategic five-year plan was unanimously approved by the Government, today, and is underway.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Today, the Government has approved the Tekuma Plan to rebuild the communities in the Western Negev. We will invest the very large sum of NIS 19 billion in order to move the communities of the Western Negev forward for generations. We will invest in housing, infrastructure, education, employment, health and more.

The Hamas terrorists sought to uproot us. We will uproot them and deepen our roots. We will build the Land of Israel and safeguard our state."

Tekuma Authority Director Brig.-Gen. (Res.) Moshe Edri:

"Today is the historic day on which we are starting the strategic five-year plan that will bring rehabilitation, rebuilding, growth, prosperity and hope for the region and its residents.

I thank the Prime Minister; the council heads in the region; the communities and residents in the city of Sderot, the communities and the kibbutzim; and the various Government ministries for their joint work; and for the confidence that has been given to us as an authority to formulate a plan that will bring good news to the region, the councils, the communities, the families and the citizens of the entire State of Israel.

With the approval of the plan, we are starting to implement it and carry it out including its plans and flagship projects. Just as we formulated the plan with the communities and the Government ministries, we will also work with them and in cooperation with the third sector, the business sector and philanthropists, to implement it and bring the region to be a positive, prosperous and attractive area.

The plan is spread over the next five years; already in the coming years, we will start to see the rebuilding, the rehabilitation, the growth and the prosperity we intend."
