Israeli government approves economic plan for Arab minority
The Israeli government on Wednesday approved a plan worth several billion dollars to improve the economic situation of the Arab minority, officials said.
Details on how the money will be spent were not immediately available.
But a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the program would apply to areas including education, transportation, employment, infrastructures, culture and sports.
“The plan ensures that minorities in Israel - Muslims, Druze, Christians, Circassians - will get fitting budgets to implement various development plans in their sectors,” Netanyahu said.Al Bawaba News
