Knesset Interior and Environment Committee discussed today (Tuesday) development and promotion of the city of Lod - map of national priority in 2015. "The debate between the rest of the progress of the construction project of the giant Ahisemech near Lod. Hearing attended by representatives from the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Economy, and the mayor of Lod.

Yair Revivo Lod mayor said during a debate that he does not want Haredim to live in his city, and reasoned it since Lod suffers from a weak population ", as he puts it.

In response, MK Yaakov Asher: "Shame a discussion was held in the Israeli Knesset with statements like this, if such a discussion was held regarding the exclusion of the Ethiopian public from the city of Lod, all of Israel would be shocked, and rightly so. Mr. Mayor, you're missing the point, Lod is a complex city, the city was able to priorities of the country, but with all the stories Ahisemech and negative passwords again goes back. You should utilize the power of all the relevant factors that are here in the Knesset, to change things that really matter to the city of Lod.

"During my term as mayor of Bnei Brak, a city of 180,000 residents, most of whom are Orthodox, the city rose from socioeconomic 2 to 3, and the solution does not lay such statements and others, the type of population come to live in the city, did not stop the construction, it's funny, it's not professional, and it does not work that way. Strategic plan should be your power utilization of the committee, the committee chairman, and the other people in this building, and thus worry about getting benefits to your town on an important issue and one major, and employment areas. Bring ministries of Lod to bring large companies, such a process, it fees, missiles, property taxes and the like, it makes a revolution in the city, there will be revenue, a lot of revenue, and this is what will bring true development of the city.

"After all, whose who know some details know, that - TPS of Ahisemech , could have set off a long time ago , but at the Interior Ministry, and rightly sought to increase the public areas of this program , and it is due to any delay , people bought the apartments , the developers were changing the program, and this process was applied for two years , and now when we reach the edge , you 're saying that we will return back to the original plans , inhabiting wide other population and change over the plans ? , there was such a thing , must find any way, to strengthen the city's business projects more that's the name of the game, should strengthen the Lod really , and numerous different passwords .

" Do not go into this mess , this war of the type of population and so this war will not build industrial building one , not my job , not a government office . Downloaded the theme from the spotlight, you sit and you get built. Preoccupation with unimportant things will not get you all energies, plunging the city back, and it is a shame. "
