Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid pledged in the coalition agreement with Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas to contact the Attorney General to cancel all fines and sanctions for illegal Arab construction.
Enforcement of illegal construction will be suspended for almost four years, including a freeze on existing demolition orders for all homes in the Negev that were built before the beginning of the year.
Abbas will be appointed deputy minister, or appointed on his behalf, and will receive half a billion shekels to be distributed as he sees fit.

The coalition agreements with the factions also indicate that the Labor Party is receiving a new division for 'Jewish Renewal' in the Diaspora Ministry, a code name for budgets and a connection to Reformists in the US.
In the agreement with Meretz, it was determined that despite the presence of members of RAAM and the national-religious camp, legislation in favor of LGBT people would be promoted, including marriage.
Just last week, the chairman of the Ra'am faction spoke out strongly against the LGBT community, saying: "No law related to perverts will be passed with the votes of our party.".
The issue of public transportation on Shabbat will also be promoted.
Another party that shares common lines on issues of religion and state with Meretz is Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu.
The agreement with Lieberman stipulates the promotion of the partnership covenant and the repeal of the Supermarket Law. The Western Wall outline will also be implemented.
In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture, which Yisrael Beiteinu will receive, will be merged with the Ministry of Negev and Galilee Development.
However, a clause in the agreement with Yamina makes it a bit difficult to see how these anti-Haredi reforms will be implemented, at least in a significant way. According to the agreement, all parties are obligated to vote against any change in the religious status quo.
Religious Zionist Party Chairman MK Bezalel Smotrich responded: "After the lies and denials, this is what a liquidation sale of Zionism looks like. No less.".
The Likud responded: "Bennett, who cheated his voters and transferred votes from the right to the left just to appoint himself prime minister with 6 seats, now wants to cancel the election of millions of citizens and get rid of the strong leader of the right through dictatorial laws that are only practiced in Iran, Syria and North Korea.".
""Bennett did everything to hide the agreement with the Palestinian Authority - a shocking agreement that included the liquidation sale of the Negev to the Islamic Movement, and the chairmanship of the Knesset Interior Committee to Mansour Abbas.".
The Religious Zionist Party harshly attacked the coalition agreements of the new government: "Naftali Bennett, in a complete loss of moral temper, is not stopping at any red light on his way to becoming an illegitimate prime minister with six seats. The agreements reveal a sale of the Negev and the Galilee, a violation of the Jewish identity of the state, and a severe distortion of democracy and the will of the people," the faction said.
'"'It's not too late to stop this. We need one hero with a compass and a conscience who will develop a moral backbone and announce his opposition, and then instead of establishing a delusional left-wing government and supporters of terrorism, a national government will be established," they added.
Yamina is not excited by this information and insists and claims: We received a veto right, these clauses will not be implemented.
According to a senior party official, "Yamina has a veto on all matters of religion and state, and therefore no coalition agreement between the parties is binding except for what was agreed upon. The draft law, conversion, city rabbis.".
• That is, all the promises made to the other parties will be canceled?
""Yes. They are irrelevant, they do not bind us and we will veto them.".
