Is Haifa prepared for war?
"Haifa is not prepared well enough for war. Upon my return to the position of mayor, I intend to establish a financial fund of 300 million shekels that will allow me to manage the city in any scenario and regardless of the state. This way we can advance the restoration of the buildings from any damage even before the property tax arrives, or withdraw hundreds of Mobile MMDs all over the city and especially in the educational institutions.
At the same time, I will work to remove all dangerous substances from Haifa Bay, and I will begin an effort to promote the removal of all polluting factories from the bay
.
" , the most protected and most wanted in Israel!
I intend to return the municipal security patrol to activity, as well as work to add hundreds of police officers and vehicles that were removed from the local station.
The first right of every resident is to feel safe in his home and in his surroundings."*
A little bird whispered to me that your daughter was recruited to serve in the reserves even though she is heavily pregnant. How do you deal with this?
"Indeed, my daughter Shiran was recruited to serve in the military reserves and I and my wife Rivka are very proud of her but also very take care of her
We are patriots of the country, and we greatly consider the value of serving in the IDF and giving for the sake of the country."
A ageism campaign has been launched against you. How do you respond to it?
"At this time, Haifa needs unity and cohesion. Such a campaign harms the good name of Haifa, harms its residents and also harms me - as a human being. It is a low, shameful and embarrassing campaign that includes surveillance of me and my family, spreading fake news and basic disrespect. Political violence of this type can harm Easily in the routine of life in Haifa. I will not agree to this and I will not give a hand to it. I want to live in a city that stands up for a mature person on the bus. I want to believe that this is how people behave in a peaceful city like Haifa. Whoever campaigned so lowly does not deserve the right to be called and be Haifai!".
In recent weeks, you published a series of work plans that you will seek to implement upon your election to the position of mayor.
Your construction plans particularly stood out - 42,000 units in five years. How do you do this after five years in which there was almost no construction in Haifa
? that you will renew the city in all the neighborhoods, and in addition I will build five more new neighborhoods.
Along with this, I intend to establish three employment complexes in the fields of high-tech and biotech, which will bring 50,000 new jobs to the city."

How will you return Haifa to be the capital of the north?
"Haifa will not only be the cultural capital of the north - but the cultural capital of Israel! Culture is the bridge to connect communities and people, and Haifa excels in a mixed and diverse audience both religiously and socially. I intend to bring back the big festivals that are associated with the city such as 'Zovachos', a festival The beer, the book month and more. We will celebrate original Haifa creations, and at the same time we will renovate and open museums, encourage alternative art and promote concerts."
At the beginning of the election campaign, the pigs were mentioned as the issue that would decide the elections in Haifa.
Alongside this are also the problems of cleaning and maintenance of the city.
Are these still the burning issues in your eyes?
"In my opinion, Haifa is the most beautiful city in the world. It should be beautiful and accessible to all its residents and guests. As I promised, we will get the pigs out of the city within 90 days. We will renovate all the roads and sidewalks. I see this as my life's mission!"
I intend to establish a Haifa unity government
"Haifa in this city needs experienced and responsible leadership, a trap and a connector. I call on all the candidates to work with me for the good of Haifa. Upon my return to the position of mayor, I intend to establish a Haifa unity government with all the good forces in the city who want to work for it"*
Finally, what would you wish for the residents of Haifa?
"I wish them to always be proud of their city."
