As part of the new opening layout of the malls, 15 malls are expected to open tomorrow (Friday).
In the meantime, it has been decided to open six malls of the two largest mall groups.
These are the three malls of Azrieli, Malcha in Jerusalem, Ayalon in Ramat Gan and the Azrieli Mall in Haifa, and three malls of Mlisron's Ofer malls: the mall in Be'er Sheva, the Kryon and the Ofer mall in Petah Tikva.
The Azrieli Malls Group stated: "Tomorrow the malls will operate from 08: 00-15: 00.
The malls are preparing to comply with all the regulations and guidelines included in the outline in order to maintain public health.
On Saturday evenings and throughout the next week, the malls will operate during normal business hours, during which you can be updated on the Azrieli website and app. "
It should be noted that the conduct of the Minister of Health infuriated the malls, since after they planned to open the malls on Thursday, the malls in the outline were approved to open their gates starting on Friday.
In order to determine who will be the nine additional malls that will participate in the pilot, three lotteries will be held today at midnight between the malls that are not owned by the two companies.
Those interested in participating in the pilot can apply until today at midnight.
The lottery will be held at the Ministry of Economy by representatives from the Ministry of Economy and Industry, and from the Ministry of Finance after the registration is completed and its results will be published on the Ministry of Economy website immediately upon completion.
This means that only at midnight will the chain owners be able to know which other malls will go up in the lottery and will have to recruit workers from the Khalal directly for Black Friday activities tomorrow. Each lottery will be held to open three malls in a particular area according to To open three malls in each area, and nine malls in total.
The industry told Israel Today that, "This is a conduct that was done intentionally by the Minister of Health to make it difficult for the malls. The Minister of Health did not want the pilot, so everything was done at the last minute."
Shahar Turgeman, chairman of the Association of Commercial, Fashion and Catering Chains, criticized the nature of the malls' pilot, against the background of Black Friday and said that, "All companies are preparing with Black Friday promotions of about 30-50% discount that they can handle outside competition Because there is a limited number of complexes, there is a chance that there will be a gathering outside the malls, and they will have to be conducted in accordance with the patent that the Minister of Health has imposed on us. "To say the least. I'm afraid there will be a rally. If that happens, it's the responsibility of the health minister."
Turgeman adds that, "The Minister of Health is forcing us to wait for the lottery, call our employees at midnight and beg them to return from sick leave.
If it did not dream then what then?
It's outrageous.
How can we call 300,000 employees?
it's joke.
The whole outline he signed is a joke from beginning to end. "
The Hamashbir Latzarchan chain is also preparing to open tomorrow.
Rami Shavit, owner of the Hamashbir Latzarhan group, says, "I hope that after the pilot all the malls will open. It is clear to all of us that there is no health problem in the malls. Following the pilot on a few parking lots there are more jumps. It does not make sense that a small part of the trade works. "The Ministry of Justice or the Prime Minister's Office, but there is a systemic failure here, treating the disease and not treating its symptoms. It cannot be that green and red cities will have the same conduct. What needs to be done is close where there is disease and open in green cities."
"The Ministry of Health does not have the ability to monitor everything. They make macro decisions without addressing the economic reality, they say close and you will receive compensation and we do not receive any compensation. If they think of a third closure, trade should be left open, it is essential."
