Formation of an Israeli ministerial committee specialized in internal Palestinian affairs

On Sunday, the Israeli government is scheduled to approve the formation of the Ministerial Committee for Arab Society Affairs (Palestinians of the Interior), which will be one of its first tasks to develop a mechanism to address the widespread crime.


According to the Arabic-speaking Israeli Public Broadcasting Authority, the ministerial committee will not include any Arab minister, and the only representative of the Palestinians in the interior will be the head of the Economic Development Authority, Hassan Tawara, as a permanent member.


It is expected that this committee, which will include 15 ministers, will be chaired by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and among its members will be the Minister of the so-called National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Settlements Orit Strok, Minister of Development of the Negev and the Galilee Yitzhak Fislarov, and another number of Ministers.


The committee's discussions will be coordinated by a representative of the National Security Council who will participate regularly in the discussions.
