A number of farmers from Judea and Samaria also attended the meeting. “Half of our agricultural lands have been dried up for the past three years and more,” one of them said. “A dunam (about 0.22 acres) is supposed to get 220 gallons of water a day, but it doesn’t get even one third of that. This is people’s livelihood. All those who are sitting here are responsible, and you must find a way to talk to one another.”
Subcommittee Chairman Yogev said follow-up meetings would be held, “because rather than crying about the past, we plan on fixing the future. The Minister of National Infrastructures must assume responsibility immediately, as long as the Defense Minister is still studying his office’s activities. Both ministries must advance the issue together.”
