Agriculture Minister Meets Local Authorities
During a meeting with 26 local and village councils and associations in Ramallah, the Palestinian Minister of Agriculture, Rizq Salimiya, emphasized the importance of strengthening the agricultural sector as a national identity and a form of resilience, rather than merely focusing on investment. He explained that agriculture requires achieving justice and supporting the general budget, with an emphasis on protecting the land and confronting Israeli violations and settler attacks. He underscored the significance of involving local authorities in developing clear agricultural plans that include land protection, support for livestock, and improvement of agricultural infrastructure, aiming to bolster farmers' resilience and implement tangible projects. He also highlighted the benefits of current government programs, which include the distribution of over 318 projects to support farmers. The minister affirmed that efforts to protect livestock remain ongoing, with over 145,000 animals vaccinated so far. He called for concerted efforts to enhance the resilience of the agricultural sector and reduce the impact of invasions, in order to achieve water and food security in Palestine.
