Minister for Development of the Negev and Galilee Silvan Shalom will not be attending the Dimona media convention, in protest of the attendance of a controversial Swedish journalist at the event.
Shalom also directed his office to cancel funding for the convention, a total of roughly NIS 200,000 (about $60,000.)
