[HIGHLIGHTS] The Knesset threatens to return Eilat port to state ownership: "that the owners bring money from home instead of firing workers" - Voila! Of money

The Economic Committee recommended not to exercise the option to extend the concession and take the port of Eilat from the Naksh brothers. "We received a notice about the dismissal of 50% of the employees, when last year the owners drew a dividend of NIS 50 million, and a decade they have been rolling in millions" The Chief Financial Officer of the Israel Ports Company, Guy Steinberg, stated that payments to the port have been delayed.

The committee asked the ministries of transportation, maritime department, and the Treasury to check whether the port meets the conditions of the concession.
