The ghost regime and the announcement of the chairman of the Haifa Cities Union for the Environment - Sarit Golan Steinberg
The "resettlement" operation on the Leviathan rig is expected to take place tomorrow starting in the morning.
As we updated last week, since the rig is about thirty kilometers away from Haifa, even in the case of high emissions during the settlement, the chance of an increase in pollutants in Haifa as a result of the rig's activity is extremely low and, therefore, does not require special instructions for the residents at this stage.
At the same time, and due to the fact that there are expected to be southeasterly winds tomorrow, we will closely monitor all the relevant monitoring stations in real time, through the Cities Association for the Protection of the Environment, and we will make sure to issue instructions to the public during the day whenever there is a fear of an increase in air pollution from the rig.
For your information, the data of the monitoring stations appear on the website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the website of the Association of Cities.

How strange that as of this morning there are no updates on the level of pollution in the "Air in the Environment" application on the coastal plain - exposed to the settlement... who cares what the situation is in Afula or Netanya...
What are they hiding from us?????????
Everyone run away
This is not the regime of the spirits...it is the regime of the tycoons! So...are we really a democracy?...even the municipality has no control over these tycoons. Fear of God! How we take for granted situations that get out of control! And situations, which are not exactly for the benefit of man and nature, the "gifts" that nature gave us, have become nature's curses! Now neighboring countries are already inventing all kinds of laws...to harm us, to deny...as if to be partners with the natural resources we found, we always knew, that the State of Israel has oil. But God didn't want to let us find it, so we bought it from the neighbors... at an exorbitant price. God and Mother Earth knew that we wouldn't be able to protect the "treasures" and man and nature. Even in the kibbutzim they are already digging...trying to find oil...so, gentlemen, those who like dangerous gifts , to stay away from them, because you need to know how to protect them, and you need to know how to protect nature and man.
is nothing.
In any case, the stations on the beach in front of the rig are not relevant because the wind today is from the south taking the pollution to Haifa.
Now 7:30 the application of the Ministry of Environmental Pollution does not show data. What are they hiding from us?
Until the wind takes the pollution to Haifa, at least an hour and a half passes.
