Netanyahu's failure: 54% of northern residents don't want to return home

Over 50% of registered residents of the north say it's highly unlikely they will ever return home, as opposed to just 13% of southern residents who said the same, according to a State Comptroller report discussed today (Tuesday) by Kann News.

According to Comptroller Matityahu Engelman, the government's ministries have spent too much time passing the responsibility to each other to rebuild the north, devastated by Hezbollah rocket and missile fire, than actually spending the money to do so, despite multiple government decisions allocating hundreds of millions of shekels to that end.

Engleman said that "the residents of the State of Israel, from the moment they entered into a serious, ongoing crisis in the system of their lives, deserved a much better quality and more efficient response than the ones they received."

Tens of thousands of northern residents have been evacuees since the war began, living in temporary residences, hotels, or with family during the year long effort to first contain and then deter Hezbollah since October 8.
