Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the Special Government Meeting in Kiryat Shmona: “You will not believe what’s going to happen in Kiryat Shmona and all of Galilee. We are going to make a revolution here.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a "revolution" for Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee, promising a transformed northern Israel with a focus on security and.
And what is the North of the country? What’s the farthest point? What’s the tip of the Panhandle? It’s right here – Kiryat Shmona.
It’s going to happen! You will not believe what’s going to happen in Kiryat Shmona.
And not only in Kiryat Shmona, you will see it throughout the Galilee. Okay, I don’t want to get in trouble, I love the Negev as well, and the Center, and Judea and Samaria, but you will not believe what’s going to happen in Kiryat Shmona.
This is why our goal is not only to suture the wounds of the past, so to speak. This isn’t what we’re talking about, and this isn’t what we were doing in Or Akiva, or in Yokneam, or in Afula, or anywhere else – Kiryat Malachi also. We are going to make a revolution here.

We carried out a momentous change and we are committed to that change here as well as every part of the country. You are not going to belive what’s going to happen in Kiryat Shmona”.
