Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met today, in Sderot, with local and regional council heads from the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip. 
Prime Minister Bennett spoke with the council heads about the security situation and dealing with the Delta strain, heard about their needs on the ground and said that he would work to strengthen the communities in the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
PM Bennett: "I thank the mayor for hosting us, and all the council heads for coming. Usually, people come here when there is a war or a round of fighting, but it was important to me to come here now when there isn't, while it is quiet, because the residents live here all the time
I am aware of the effect of these rounds, even in quiet moments it is still there. The effects still exist – both mental and physical. You are very important to me personally, and to the State of Israel.
PM Bennett: "We are working to give the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip and the communities of the south as much long-term quiet and calm as possible. There are big opportunities. I mainly want to thank you – you are here all the time, safeguarding our home."
