Israel Matzav: Arabs from the Gulf buy hundreds of dunams of Galilee land

Arabs from the Gulf buy hundreds of dunams of Galilee land

Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.

Arabs from the Persian Gulf recently bought hundreds of dunams of privately owned agricultural land in the Galilee from private owners who were forced to sell due to financial crisis.

Farmers in the Galilee tried to unite in an effort to thwart the sale, which was reportedly funded by tycoons from the Persian Gulf, but did not succeed in raising sufficient funds to buy the land from its owners, who were forced to sell after suffering from financial problems.

Agriculture Minister Shalom Simhon (Labor) said in response to the report that the issue was not his responsibility.
