"There is a corrupt deal here and it's important that the public knows it," MK Vladimir Bliak slammed the chairman of the opposition during a discussion in the finance committee following the stinking deal regarding the cigarette tax.
This is a deal drawn up by committee chairman Moshe Gafni under pressure from members of the Likud Center at the Airports Authority.
According to the deal, the tax on cigarettes sold in Israel will jump, while the tax exemption on those packs sold duty free will remain until 2028. This means that the Likud, with Netanyahu's backing, mistakenly think that smoking in Israel Kills less than smoking within the limits of the green line.
And maybe they think that this will encourage travel abroad?
And I'm still not talking about a NIS 100 million budget hole that was created as a result of the continuation of the exemption and it is unclear how it will be covered. The Likud government has turned duty free into a tax laundry, just like the VAT exemption for shopping on foreign websites "To.

Shameful surrender to pressure groups/Government Press Office, Kobi Gideon
The cigarette tax is just one example of the shameful surrender of the treasury and the government to the pressure groups, led by the ultra-Orthodox, and it is costing us our health.
At the end of 2023, Smotrich decided under pressure from the ultra-orthodox parties to extend the sugar tax exemption and the tax exemption on disposable dishes.
This exemption led to an increase in the consumption of harmful drinks and mainly harms the lower classes coming from the ultra-Orthodox and minority sectors.
The continuation of the exemption also resulted in an increase in the consumption of harmful drinks.
However, the heads of the ultra-Orthodox leadership and also in Shas, which appointed Uriel Bosso as health minister on its behalf, are less bothered by this.
And we still haven't talked about the loss of tax revenue amounting to NIS 1.3 billion. But who cares when we act like Swiss and our credit rating is not in danger of collapse.

The ultra-Orthodox leadership actually behaves as if they don't care if their audience dies, gets diabetes or gets sick from the excessive and harmful use of plastic.
The main thing is that they die cheaply.
This week it became clear that the surrender to the ultra-Orthodox has reached the field of transportation.
Not that it's new, but surprising every time.
It is already known that even soldiers during an emergency were not transported on Shabbat let alone flights.
But Transport Minister Miri Regev, who last week 'announced' to the residents of Kiryat Shmona that they would receive their car tests in Hazor, proves time and time again that there is no limit to her capitulation to the ultra-Orthodox.
This week it became clear that she ordered the work to be stopped on Saturday for the completion of the Inba bridge in Vacha Jerusalem.
This increases traffic jams and may increase the level of traffic accidents.
The unfinished bridge will remain as a sad testimony to the ultra-Orthodox government stuck not only on October 6, 2023, but on October 6, 2013, as if there was no war for survival and as if investment in infrastructure is not a growth engine of the economy.
To all these were added the consequences of the war on mental health.
This week we witnessed the heartbreaking screams of the families of the abductees in the Knesset debate about the lack of budgets that would allow for psychological and psychiatric treatment of the traumas of the families and children.
They are now dependent on donations from the private sector such as the Tiv Taam network.
But to other places and you are exactly where the money will flow as usual.

The Prime Minister again did not see, did not hear, and did not move his cloak/Flash 90, Yonatan Zindel
If all of this is not enough, the report of the commission of inquiry regarding the Maron disaster was published this week. 45 deaths are the sole responsibility of the Prime Minister who again did not see, hear or shake his treasonous lapel. And Sara Netanyahu, his wife, further claims that everything is political.
All these challenges are the responsibility of Netanyahu who once Claimed that what is important is 'life itself'. Unfortunately there are some who are no longer alive. And there are those who survived but their health under his watch is in danger.
Netanyahu observes all of this but does not see. Hears the voices but does not listen. Presumably the 'light effect' has returned Leka this week has not impaired his senses. Surrendering to the ultra-Orthodox and the Likudniks increases our health, but he is not bothered by what we will die: ingots, in the Maroon disaster, from car accidents, from cigarettes or from sugary drinks.
His whole purpose is survival. He will guarantee the soldiers land on the moon at a bargain price to appreciate their work. The arena He neglects the economy in favor of Finance Minister Smotrich and the latter, as we know, there is no God. The time has come for elections for the sake of our health and not for the sake of the Netanyahu family.
