Minister Miri Regev is facing backlash after suggesting that Israelis displaced by war should “thank God” for the government-funded hotel stays. Regev boasted about the planned train to transport evacuees back to their northern city, claiming the government is doing “amazing things.”
The controversial comments were made during a speech where Regev highlighted the number of people staying in hotels funded by the state. The Minister’s remarks have been met with criticism, with many questioning the appropriateness of her statements.
Despite the backlash, Regev remains steadfast in her belief that the government is providing necessary support to those affected by conflict. The post, titled “Regev claims government doing ‘amazing things’: ‘So many people in hotels’ we funded,” on The Times of Israel, has sparked a heated debate among readers.
