In a dramatic response to ongoing security concerns, leaders of northern Israel's regional councils have announced they will sever all contact with the central government. This move comes in the wake of the latest escalation in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. The northern leaders, including Mateh Asher Regional Council head Moshe Davidovich, Metula Mayor David Azoulay, and Upper Galilee Regional Council head Giora Zaltz, issued a joint statement expressing their frustration over the government's focus on central Israel's security while neglecting their communities, which have been under constant attack since October The decision to cut ties reflects their deep dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the conflict and the lack of adequate protection and support for northern regions. This announcement follows a recent Israeli preemptive strike on Hezbollah aimed at safeguarding central Israel, which further fueled the leaders' outrage. Their statement underscores a significant breakdown in trust and highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive plan to ensure the safety and rehabilitation of northern communities amid the escalating conflict with Hezbollah#IsraelHezbollah #NorthernLeaders #GovernmentNeglect #SecurityCrisis #HezbollahConflict #NorthernIsrael #CommunitySafety #IsraelStrike #GovernmentFailure #RegionalCouncil #NorthernIsraelCrisis #ConflictResponse #HezbollahTensions #IsraeliGovernment #NorthernRebellion #RegionalSafety ~PR.152~HT.194~HT.318~ED.141~
