Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara visited ALEH Negev-Nahalat Eran in July. This was an incredibly exciting event for residents, staff and honored guests, and an indication of the government’ s support of the rehabilitation village and its planned hospital. Major General Doron Almog:“ The visit by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, to ALEH Negev-Nahalat Eran constitutes a powerful social message, testifying to the Government of Israel’ s commitment to developing the Negev, taking into account the needs of society’ s weakest members … The visit emphasizes ALEH Negev-Nahalat Eran’ s social significance as a place that embodies outstanding harmony between all elements of Israeli society.” Prime Minister Netanyahu:“ Here there is a pure expression of Judaism and humanity.‘ And you shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ everyone has a soul, and you have a soul.”
