Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press -
12 July 1999
Re: Ran Cohen
The new Minister of Industry and Trade, Ran Cohen, is attempting
to halt the development of industry in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza using
the pretext that investments in the heart of Israel increase
unemployment. The new government is thus starting out on the wrong
foot. The policy outlined by Ran Cohen is a divisive policy of
discrimination among different parts of the country.
Professors for a Strong Israel suggests to the new minister
that he begin by learning his way around his office. "Drying out"
Jewish settlements and the people living there is not his mandate.
