“Shmuel Riffman, who heads the Negev Development Company, sent a letter to Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, in which he states money is not the reason holding up the protection for frontline homes and communities.“
“’Both of us know the defense establishment finished 2005 with funds remaining in the coffer,’ wrote Riffman in his letter.”
“Negev officials explain that NIS 95 million of a NIS 210 million earmarked for protection have yet to be released by the national government while rocket attacks against the communities have become a daily occurrence.”
