Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning, attended the 6th Negev Conference in Sderot and discussed the actions of his government (Israels 33rd) during its first year in office: Today, we are marking exactly one year since the government was formed. One of the main goals that we set was to develop the Negev and the Galilee and bring them closer to the center. We have invested more than NIS 10 billion in transportation infrastructures. We built a railway station here in Sderot. Beer Sheva is becoming a global cyber center. We blocked illegal migration. In the wake of Operation Pillar of Defense, quiet – of a kind unknown in a decade – has prevailed here. There will be no trickle of rockets. My policy is clear: Any firing of rockets will be met with an immediate and sharp response. In the past year, we have built up Israels security in the face of regional turmoil and the Israeli economy has continued to grow more than the economies of the world which are still dealing with an economic crisis. There has been an impressive series of achievements here especially given the short time in which they have occurred. Some of them are due to the implementation of decisions taken by the previous government. In the coming year, we can expect to see further results of decisions taken by the new government.
