At the Sderot Convention today MK Amir Peretz (Labor) spoke about the need to develop the peripheral cities. In his remarks he said that the Negev is not in competition with Kiryat Malachi and Kiryat Gat, but rather with Ariel and Barkan. Furthermore he said, "As long as the settlements receive the same priority as the Negev and the Galil, significant investments will not come to the Negev.”
