Minister Karai: "I hear 'apologise, take responsibility, ask for forgiveness'. For what?"/Walla system!
A week after the Supreme Court unanimously decided to overturn the dismissal of the chairman of the post's board of directors, Michal Vakanin, stating that this was an "extremely unusual and extremely unreasonable" decision, the revenge of the Minister of Communications is coming
. A financial sanction of NIS 1.175 million was imposed, due to harming public service by closing three branches and violating a direct order by Krai not to close postal units. The units that were closed are in Netivot, Rishon Lezion and Mitar.
Krai said that "along with promoting privatization with all our might, we will maintain the service to the public and we will not allow the postal administration to harm the weakest.
Any branch closure without approval will be accompanied by fines and any harm to citizens will be accompanied by strict supervision.
Privatization yes and with all its might for the benefit of the public, but even until then we will not abandon the service to the public."
Director General of the Ministry of Communications, Attorney Einval Meshash added that "the decision of the postal service to massively close branches harms service to the public and disadvantaged populations.
Thousands of residents remain without accessible and available postal services.
We will continue to act all the time for the benefit of the citizens of Israel."
The amount of sanctions that will be imposed is a total amount for the closing of the three post offices, as stated, it is NIS 1.175 million, while the company has up to 45 days to assert its claims against the intention to impose the financial sanctions.

In the mail, they were outraged upon hearing this and said that the recovery agreement prohibits the company from recruiting new employees.
The Israel Post stated: "These are agencies that were operated by external franchisees, who decided to stop the units' activity. The decision to close postal units that are operated by an external franchisee does not depend on the decision of the postal company, but on the decision of the franchisee.
"Remember, the Israel Post Company is prohibited from recruiting new employees As part of the recovery agreement with the Israeli government.
The recovery agreement included layoffs of 20% of the post office's workforce, and as part of its conditions, the company was prohibited from recruiting new employees and re-increasing the number of employees."

The High Court overturned his impeachment/screenshot, Knesset Channel
In the High Court's ruling, it was determined that the dismissal of the chairman of the Post Office by Karai and Amsalem was "extremely unusual and extremely unreasonable" due to several reasons, among them: failure to meet the obligation of the Minister of Communications to consult with the Government Companies Authority on time (a reason that stands on its own );
The sensitive timing of the decision, at a time when the postal company is on the last line before its privatization;
The opposition of the Minister of Finance to the transfer of the petitioner from his position at the present time;
And the ignorance of the Minister of Communications and the Minister of Regional Cooperation regarding the position of the Government Companies Authority, which opposed the impeachment process all along.
In addition, the ruling emphasized the abnormality of the chosen sanction - the transfer of the chairman of the board of directors from his position - which had never been taken during the decades of existence of the government companies, as well as the fact that this far-reaching sanction was taken in the current case as a first step, without having previously exhausted more moderate measures.
Judge Amit He clarified that in accordance with the law, the position of chairman of the board of a government company is not a position of trust, and the chairman of the board is not an "official" who does the word of the minister in charge. Against this background, the great importance of strengthening the independence of office bearers in government companies was emphasized.
