The rate of Arab construction in the Galilee is now outpacing Jewish construction — and it's outpacing the housing needs of the Arab citizens themselves. This isn't a housing story. It's a national security story.
Recorded August 19, 2026.
In this strategic briefing, Moshe Davis breaks down how a policy change has quietly reshaped the strategic map of northern Israel. From the Defense Minister's "revolution" declaration to the data on housing starts, the geography of the roadways, and the case study of Kafr Kanna.
