After joining the Independent Movement, Bennett and Shaked present economic reform • "We will make the State of Israel a paradise of entrepreneurship" • Shulmanim leader Kara: "Easy for business owners"
Naftali Bennett and Avir Kara
The right-wing party announces its economic plan after the Shulmanim join.
The program emphasizes reforms and the abolition of bureaucracy to facilitate the self-employed, the engine of the economy.
The program, which is published here for the first time, includes ten points whose purpose is to encourage the free market and a private initiative for small and medium-sized businesses in Israel.
The first reform proposed by the right deals with business licensing: the party undertakes to publish within a month of the formation of the government a "checklist" for each type of business, which will centralize all regulatory requirements.
This is to reduce "unfounded" licensing clauses (platform language).
Yemin also offers a change to fast digital licensing procedures, with a commitment to starting an online business in less than 48 hours.

In addition, a reform of the standards is proposed: the abolition of the obligation to comply with Israeli standards for products with European and American standards.
Another reform deals with the relationship between employers and workers' committees: the abolition of the protections of the law for committees without transparency and the definition of tools for resolving disputes by agreement between workers and employers.
In its economic plan, the right also proposes a reform of business property taxes: a reduction in business property taxes in a way that does not exceed twice the residential property tax.
With regard to banks and financial entities, the following reform is proposed: the opening of barriers that prevent competition in banks and competition in financial services in order to reduce high commissions rolled over to small business owners.
Another proposal is regarding the law of non-discrimination for the self-employed: the creation of a mechanism that will prevent the criminalization of self-employed persons who have committed bureaucratic offenses.

Bennett's list also offers a voluntary safety net for the self-employed, according to which the state will offer a voluntary safety net route for the self-employed, which will allow them to set aside part of their salary for a mechanism that will provide them with an umbrella of protection.
In the area of vehicle value tax, it is proposed to update and change the tax frameworks for the benefit of the self-employed.
In addition, a reform of the bureaucracy in the field of day care is proposed, and to end the Knesset Election Day Law: the return of the normal working day to election days.
The chairman of the right-wing faction, MK Ayelet Shaked, told Israel Today: "In one note, they vote to the right and crush the regulation in the country."
Right-wing chairman, Naftali Bennett: "The government that I will establish after the election will work to make Israel a paradise for anyone who wants to initiate."
According to the leader of the Shulmanim, Avir Kara, "there are significant lines in our program that will make it easier for business owners."
