Municipality strike is a new problem for Netanyahu

The municipalities of the occupied territories went on strike to protest that the property tax is divided between the parties of the sale, and the municipal authorities did not carry out garbage collection. Israeli regime opposition chief Yair Lapid says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given away 13.5 billion shekels, taxpayer money, to his coalition colleagues.

Recently, the Israeli regime has proposed a solution to the housing problem. Under this decision, which is called the "property tax law", the municipalities allocate in stages part of their tax revenues to a property fund to be created, and the money collected in this fund as premiums is paid to the cities that have issued more building permits. housing.

Thus, it is believed that an incentive is created for large housing construction, but this law turned out to be mainly to the detriment of large and rich cities and to the benefit of small and poor settlements (mainly Arab and Hardy). For this reason, the municipalities of wealthy cities are facing this law, which is called forced money, and in protest against this they refuse to provide public services, including garbage collection, etc. The municipal strike comes as residents of the occupied territories demonstrate for the 19th consecutive week on Saturday against Prime Minister Netanyahu's policies and plan for judicial reform.
