Report of the committee to examine the affairs of the military government that was appointed in accordance with section 51 of the foundation of the government approved by the Knesset on the 18th day of Heshvan 11/3/1955. A report detailing the conclusions of a special committee headed by Y. Shatner, D. Auster, and V. Salomon which operated in the months of December 1955-1956, to examine the possibility of ending the 'military government' in the Arab areas in the north of the country in the Negev and in the center, its activities, and recommendations - typewritten.

After a careful examination of the tense situation between Jews and Arabs in the areas controlled by the 'military government', the committee comes to the clear conclusion that the 'military government' should not be stopped anywhere it exists due to the immediate threat from the Arab state, For fear that the Arabs of those territories will join them in the war if there is an outbreak. "In a time of emergency in general and in the case of a war initiated by Arab countries in particular, there is no doubt that Arab countries assume that when the time comes they will be entitled to local encouragement and support from the Arabs in Israel..." After an extensive detail of the actions of the military regime also in maintaining order within society The Arabs submit their conclusion to the then Prime Minister Ben Gurion: "In short... the military government can be improved... it does not allow it to be canceled or reduced as long as there is a state of emergency in the country. With the establishment of true peace between Israel and its neighbors, the military government will also be abolished."

In practice, the 'military government' was abolished only in 1966 after a public debate and after several bills were submitted in 1963 to abolish it.
