Mordecai Bentov, Minister of Development, today called on engineers and skilled laborers from other countries to come to the Negev and help build the development projects in Israel’s South.

Mr. Bentov issued the call at ground-breaking ceremonies at Elath for a new housing project that will include, as a start, 60 two-room apartments, each with a beautiful view of the Red Sea. This residence project is the first inaugurated at Elath by private builders and more such privately-financed enterprises are expected to be launched there.
