The number of vaccinated and politicians' statements about returning to routine caused slight optimism among restaurateurs, but this disappeared very quickly with the talk of extending the closure

The business sector was due to exit the third quarantine earlier this week.

For many businesses, the continuation of the closure is a fate, as these are significant losses every day and now there is an understandable fear that the closure will continue beyond the planned, which will further complicate the situation of business owners.

Oshri Bitton, owner of "Knafa Jerusalem" in the Jerusalem camp market, told us last night: "In the first closure, they talked about two weeks and it lasted 50 days. When the second and third closures arrived, I knew in advance that it would not be two weeks. "And when. It does not interest them that people sit at home without a livelihood and it becomes a month and even a month and a half with expenses and no income."

"No one looks at the business that is the economic engine. When people buy there are taxes and that is good for the country. Obviously I am not saying that no moves should be made to prevent, but in practice it has not closed. The airport is the main artery that puts in and out the disease. "Entering and leaving without checking them at the entrance and exit of the country. Only now did they remember to close the airport as if doing us a favor." 

"By and large, the situation is that small businesses are not treated for almost a year. It really does not close, they make fun of work. People travel freely to work and shopping and only the street shops, markets and malls are closed. I thank God every day that my businesses are active in the market. "Because they could not afford it. I personally have no income, pay taxes and my wife works from home. We have two children aged nine and 13 and of course we have to support them and take care of them and cover the mortgage."

Tami Tal, owner of the "Little French" restaurant in Afula, added that "the biggest difficulty is a mental difficulty. You take it into account as a business that you have been rolling in for a year. You know you will not make money, but you want to take care of your employees. They earn 80% of the salary and it is difficult for them to make ends meet.

In previous closures I closed the business.

This time we left the business open for deliveries due to the demand from the employees, they wanted to continue and there is difficulty in opening and closing. "

"Plus, there's the mental part. I'm not allowed people to pick up my food at takeaway even though I'll give this service to anyone individually. Twenty people go into the grocery store in the area. You're mentally discouraged because of irrational decisions. I keep the law and I take into account that it's a problem. Everyone and it's not a personal thing. On the other hand these are political decisions that are not in my favor and it sucks. I accept the closure and I also take care of my parents, but can not have such vigilant traffic on the roads. There is no closure here so the morbidity does not go down. I make every effort for the citizen The little one keeps the law and I see populations from the extremes doing what they want. "

Financially, I just want to stay with my head above water.

I emphasize that I love our country and I accept other opinions.

I'm dying for the people here.

I am in the field of great love, our business has existed for over 20 years. "
