Rising electricity prices
- Some publications claim that electricity prices will rise by 30% due to rising carbon taxes. The publication that came out on Netanyahu's behalf only talks about raising electricity tariffs, without referring to percentages.
The test revealed that a carbon tax that will apply to all polluting fuels in 2023 is customary in many countries that have signed the Paris Agreement. When it enters into force, the electricity tariff will indeed increase, but according to estimates, these are individual percentages that will be used to fight the climate crisis.
In the updated outline, the cost to the electricity economy was significantly reduced - through an outline carbon taxation outline for the various fuels. Following the reduction and the graded outline,
electricity prices are expected to rise by up to 5%, gradually by 2028
- according to a senior professional figure in the electricity sector.

Injury Israeli agriculture
- it's already here interpretative debate on the law and its implications. On the one hand, Israeli agriculture will indeed suffer from the opening of the market to imports, on the other hand, the reform offers compensation in the form of direct support to farmers.
As stated, this issue cannot be quantified and accurately measured and it is possible that the reform will undergo further improvements after dialogue between the parties. However, it is important to say that the reform in the agricultural industry, at least in the short term, will lead to a decrease in the prices of fruits and vegetables.
The additional section in the anti-budget publications, which deals with the transfer of NIS 53 billion "to Mansour Abbas" is already purely political.
At least according to Abbas himself, this is what he defined as a "coffee-fest" for proposals he received from Netanyahu when the latter negotiated coalitions with him. The Likud, of course, denies. In any case - and it does not matter who believes - The Arab during the Netanyahu governments.
