260 local leaders and activists, Jews and Arabs, appealed to KKL Chairman Eyal Ostrinsky with a demand to act against the tent compound established in Majd al-Krum, clarifying that "KKL lands will not be used to create friction between populations." The compound was set up by settlers in Majd al-Krum for grazing sheep. There are concerns in the area that this is an attempt to establish an illegal outpost. The letter to KKL stated: "This is a test of the rule of law. The responsibility placed on a public institution is to prevent harm to the fabric of shared life in the Galilee."
