A year after the media confrontation, in which Prof. Avi Simhon, former chairman of the National Economic Council, called Lee Fox, Harel Wiesel, "rich" and claimed he had to wait in line for compensation, the two met again yesterday (Monday) in a panel at the Eilat Malls Conference.
Wiesel said at the beginning: "The high-tech industry is considered a 'wow' in the State of Israel, each such company eventually employs a total of about 100 workers. However, the malls and retail industry employs thousands of workers, and when we make a profit we are attacked. "'Rich' is a word that has become derogatory in the country. There is no doubt that in the economy this budget is a certainty, and a budget is better than doing nothing."
Prof. Simhon replied to Wiesel: "I am not saying that the rich are bad, on the contrary. The point is that there are priorities. If we did not take care of those in distress and those whose financial situation is more difficult, they could not go to the grocery store. It has a goal and is not intended to serve purposes. "
Wiesel added: "When I spoke to you during the event there was a sympathetic ear. We were sent to talk to the officials in the treasury, and when we reached the most senior officials, I told them that they were not the ones who had to decide."
Prof. Simhon responded: "I am in favor of helping businesses and we wrote a plan, but the budget department did and will not do anything. They stopped all activity. Looking back we did a great job. The Knesset was a great thing and provided millions of people with a lot of breathing space."
Shahar Turgeman, chairman of the Brill Group, called on the prime minister and ministers to go out into the field, "If you want to write regulations and impose them on the citizens.
The decision on the bracelets is delusional. "The one who openly opposed Prime Minister Bennett was Rami Shavit, the owner of Hamashbir 365:" We have a prime minister in a panic with six seats who can not run a country and every day he throws a different statement.
He just does not want to pay compensation to anyone. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
