Eran is the Ramat Negev Regional Council of Southern Israel. The largest jurisdiction of land in Israel with the smallest population. Eran has been busy in his four years at the helm of the local municipality. The constant struggle of keeping the feel of the desert alive with constantly improving the lives of the citizens who live there. The demographics of the region are interesting in that it is a 50/50 split between Jews and Bedouin Arabs.
We talk about why Eran moved to the Negev, the challenges of dealing with Jerusalem, the Israel Defense Force training area, and the integration of the Bedouin population into mainstream Israeli society.
This is part of the Negev series within the Israel podcast series on the podcast.
