Everything is open: the third closure continues, but only on paper.
A minute after the partial removal of the closure restrictions, many store owners preferred not to wait for the government - and opened the stores.
Although the Israeli government did not change the restrictions on opening stores, but with the entry into force of the relief on the rest of the economy - today hundreds, if not thousands, of them opened their doors throughout the country.
As of Sunday morning, government regulations allowed the sale of takeaways, ie self-collection, and the restriction of traffic of 1,000 meters from the house was also lifted and it was approved to open B & Bs and barbershops.
Stores were not part of the move, and their opening seems to be the most horizontal and blatant violation of the guidelines since the outbreak of the plague in Israel and the imposition of restrictions on the economy, with stores of all sizes and types opening their doors.
These are no longer just street stores or open-air shopping malls, they are also stores that operate inside malls.

First swallow in the fight?

A stroll through Big's shopping centers, and even the Dizengoff Center mall in Tel Aviv, reveals hundreds of open stores.
From jewelry stalls, perfumes and private shoe stores, through Israeli fashion chains such as Renoir, Yanga, Ripley, Golberry, Gali shoes, Castro, Golf to the flagship stores of international brands including Nike, Pot Locker, and Daiso Japan.
Bookstores, such as Steimatzky, and office and travel supplies stores, such as Kravitz and Ricochet, have also opened their doors.
Like them, toy stores have opened, large and small.
Shopping centers are realizing the threat
Fashion chains and toys although not allowed to open, but open shopping centers, led by the CEO of a big living Galis, and with the networks announced last week that would open the stores - in violation of regulations. Now they do it big.
After a wisecrack of restaurants guidelines began the blockade II Under the name Shamak - short-term delivery service - that is, to the bench in front of the business, now the fashion chains are also adopting a new bypass method.
A type of combo that is still unclear whether it can be enforced or not: a takeaway sale.
Not of a hamburger or pizza, but a takeaway of a dress, sneakers, perfume or earrings.
Some stores placed a table at the entrance that blocked the aisle, and placed vendors offering their wares through the table, without allowing customers to enter the store.
Thus, the chains claim, they are in fact selling at "takeaway", with the industry arguing that anyone who has assumed that takeaway is allowed for restaurants, will not be able to ban sales at "takeaway" of stores.
On Sunday, fashion stores could also be seen inside malls, a sight that has not been remembered for many months.
The Big Shopping Center group, whose main activity is based on the operation of power centers (open shopping centers), reported the opening of about 75% of the businesses in its centers.
Even in some of the stores that have not yet opened, there is a noticeable feature in preparation for opening.
Some are sitting on the fence waiting to see how the police will behave towards the violators.
And in the meantime?
Workers tidy up, clean, paint, hang new signage.
Alongside the stores that chose this morning to break the law, you can still find quite a few closed stores.
Some belong to large groups, such as Zara (which for the time being is only organized within stores), and some to private businesses, which currently respect the guidelines that prohibit store opening or are just waiting to see if enforcement will be significant.
A struggle that began in the first closure
This opening, contrary to the guidelines, brings to a climax the ongoing struggle of shopkeepers and shopping centers against the government.
These were bitterly disappointed after a series of meetings and talks with the chairman of the Blue and White Party, Bnei Gantz, who also serves as the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Communications, Acting Minister of Science and Technology and Acting Minister of Justice, did not mature to open trade. .
This represents a change of 180 degrees adherence to the guidelines of the closure first in March 2020, became less firm with pressure to open during the closure of the second and threats of rebellion unfulfilled. This time there was a violation only by those who led the first revolt, in which a group of Fox opened hundreds of stores, and a group of Brill. This time it stores the groups that so far have avoided blatant violation of the guidelines, which set Match Retail, owner of H & M operates the brand porridge Japan, and the Castro group (even if the spread is lower).
It seems that the threats posed by ministers Did not create a deterrent in the current round. "I have heard of initiatives to open shops and shopping centers in violation of the guidelines and the law," Ganz wrote in a statement issued on the eve of the easing, adding that he "understands the economic hardship of hundreds of thousands of business owners and workers." .
At the same time, Israel is a state governed by the rule of law and everyone must obey the instructions. "
Pressure on workers to get vaccinated
It seems that this announcement did not particularly impress the owners of the shops and shopping centers.
You can't carry things that don't make sense.
If politicians do not understand this, the public will teach them that "Various players in the industry tell Globes. And what about the fear of fines?" The police meanwhile came to say hello, and did nothing "they say.
Alongside the opening of stores, company owners are working to produce pressure on Employees and their suppliers to be vaccinated, some in exchange for incentives, and some in exchange for sanctions.After various companies in the economy stated that they would incentivize workers with a financial grant provided they were vaccinated, the Big Group has informed workers in recent days that as of March 15, He will not be able to enter the company's offices in Herzliya. "In a letter sent by the group's CEO Gallis, he also clarified that this directive applies not only to the group's employees, but also to external suppliers and other guests, except for those who hold a medical certificate forbidding vaccination.
Has the government lost control?

While the sweeping opening of businesses marks a step up, it should not surprise decision makers.
Last week announced that the CEO of Big Sunday the group will open its shopping center operations, similar to the first closure. This declaration also joined the group Melisron operated by Ofer malls, and shopping centers open group Zim.
Galis claimed in a letter to the group that tenants "For us, starting Sunday, February 7, we will allow stores to open in the Big Centers, and will require everyone to pay rent and management fees in full under the current lease."
According to Gallis, "The Ministry of Health is waving selective data to advance its hysterical agenda to close without Limits.
In practice, there is no closure on the streets, no proper enforcement, as we all saw this week, "he added." The government simply does not understand the intensity of the damage to the world of commerce and business owners, although it is clear and well known - unequivocally proven by the farce In
any case, the violation of the guidelines by the fashion chains and shopping centers may be just a first swallow regarding further violations by businesses, which have not yet received official approval to open, including gyms, restaurants and banquet halls. Control over enforcement and closure, it will be more difficult to turn the wheel back.
