According to the Green Light Association, 197 people have been killed in road accidents since the beginning of 2022. Also, a new report published by the European Road Safety Council in June shows that the State of Israel is in the last and worst place in the change in the number of road accident fatalities in 2011-2021.

a 4.7% reduction in the number of people killed in traffic accidents in Israel, while the rest of Europe recorded an average decrease of 31.3%.

Seven people were killed and 11 injured in the last week in four road accidents across the country and in Sinai.

The most recent of these cases was the death of the 16-year-old boy Shalom Dov Ber Lifesh yesterday (Friday) who was run over to death in Kiryat Malachi.

Lipesh was hit by a car on Ben Gurion Boulevard in the city yesterday and was found unconscious on the road.

Attorney Yaniv Yaacov, CEO of the Or Yerok association, asked to send his condolences to the families of those killed in the accidents.

"Traffic accidents are a national scourge that affects all sections of the population and sows pain and sadness in many families. To our heart's content, this is the result of a poor order of priorities by the State of Israel, which neglects the fight against carnage on the roads. When the traffic police lacks two hundred vehicles, when money is cut to improve infrastructure on roads and at risk centers, and when activity is not focused Among at-risk populations, the result is red, dangerous and deadly roads," Yaakov said.

"The State of Israel has been lagging behind all European countries in the last decade in changing the number of people killed in traffic accidents, and this is a certificate of poverty and failure for the governments," added the CEO of Or Yerok, "how many more people have to pay with their lives until someone in the Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety decides to put an end to this failure that destroys more From 300 families every year?

The order of priority must change.

Saving lives and reducing road accidents must be prioritized by transferring budgets for the safety of all of us.

We must stop terrorism on the roads."
