While in Europe restrictions are tightening in the face of a renewed corona outbreak, Israel does not intend to compensate business owners even if preventive measures are tightened.


No compensation: "Bennett failed to pass green mark, do you think he will be able to impose a closure?"

Things were told to Walla!

Money by a senior economic entity.

In any case, it seems that the Treasury does not currently have a compensation plan, even in the case of exacerbating measures to prevent the outbreak.

The corona is still here, and by and large: in the Netherlands a full closure was announced yesterday and in many European countries, where the number of vertebrates is skyrocketing, rooms are being discussed for partial closure, night curfews and flight disruptions - with economic plans to compensate business owners.



Clear that in light of rising inflation in the US and some European countries, it will be difficult this time the central banks print money and thereby allow the government to inject payments assistance to businesses, as it was during the first year of the epidemic.



Yet, strange that the Israeli government to refrain categorically speak on closure And on a compensation plan for the self-employed even if the restrictions are tightened, certainly in view of the fact that the annual inflation rate in Israel is 2.4%, lower than in Western countries, meaning that the government can "afford" horizontal or spot compensation, if required.

"In the government, decisions are made according to the public mindset"

Last week, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman said at a meeting of the Yisrael Beiteinu faction in the Knesset, "the critical moment has come when policy needs to be changed - there is no more grant for every citizen, there is more investment in both growth and employment."

In closed-door talks, Lieberman emphasized that only in an extreme scenario would a closure be imposed, so there is no point in discussing compensation for the self-employed at all, because it is not on the agenda at all.



Senior economic sources told Walla,

"The Prime Minister has not been able to pass a decision on a green label in malls.

Do you think there is a chance that he will be able to pass a decision on closure?

Bennett is trying his best to toughen the restrictions, but in this government decisions are made according to the public mindset, which is no longer willing to hear about closures

.

They adopt talk of life alongside the corona, even if it is the highly contagious omicron strain. "

"This is a creeping closure"

"What an amazing start-up of the change government," says Roi Cohen, president of Lahav, the Israel Independents' Organization. "Even with severe restrictions, no compensation can be given. , Those who do not have a green card, the ability to enter business and we will continue to pay the same property tax, and the same electricity and water bill.



" Nothing. The word closure is not said, but it is a creeping closure that creates terrible uncertainty for lazy business owners. Why reinvent the wheel every time, and not create a permanent compensation mechanism? Not for all the self-employed, but to choose with tweezers those who were harmed to take care of them immediately, not to let entire industries collapse, like the guides and only then think about how to compensate them. "

Method: Public pressure on the government

And perhaps the pressure exerted by the guides on the treasury, which caused Lieberman to discuss a compensation outline, would work in the same way in other industries in the future?



"It was amazing to see 4,000 people troll an entire country," the same source said.

"If they could do it, with a little pressure in the right places, anyone can."



It should be noted that it is difficult to make an equal decision on all industries in the economy, some of which have suffered and are suffering severe economic damage, while others are suffering only minor damage, but are seeking some industry relief in the form of grants or other assistance.

In any case, it is quite clear that what happened during the first closures, ie horizontal compensation for all business owners, will not be repeated even in an extreme scenario - both because of the change in policy and because of the change in issues in senior economic positions.
