Opinion column
Some are in a hurry to state - this time he really changes direction, turns green.
Others do not believe - they are sure that these are well-known PR exercises.
And some believe that he is really debating, one way or the other, and hesitates to change direction.
In his embarrassing Facebook appearance, Yahav missed an opportunity to answer bravely and honestly
on the public's questions, preferring to recycle clichés that have long been debunked:
Yahav: For 10 years we acted against air pollution. I will oppose all expansions in factories.
The truth - in these years he supported the plans for their expansion and the establishment of the right-wing crackdown.
Yahav: The air in Haifa is clean, the pollution has decreased by 70%. Even the GS office approved.
The truth - the ministry only cited reports from the Association of Cities for the Environment, led by... Yahav.
Yahav: Haifa is the most monitored city in the world. I will oppose its declaration as air pollution.
The truth - the emissions exceed the health target values by hundreds of percent.
Yahav: I alone fought against the ammonia tank, and I won. The container will be copied from here.
The truth - in all modesty, I led the appeal, and Yahav refused to point a finger!
Yahav: The Ministry of Health retracted its contradictory data, it must provide true data.
The truth - the data are real, not contradictory, and the Ministry of Health has not retracted it!
Any attempt to present his activity in the past in a green light will not succeed in the face of protocols,
Correspondence, and a document proving the opposite. To seriously convince his intentions, on
Yahav would listen less to his political advisors, and more to factors from the environmental field,
and move from talk to action. Although not all are under his authority, but under his authority
to act, and to activate others, for their promotion. Including:
- Reform of the Association of Cities for the Environment, led by a non-political public figure.
- Reform the structure, composition and powers of the Joint Committee, and the Gulf Administration.
- Establishing an environmental unit, and renewing the activity of the health and environment committees.
- Limiting emissions to health target values, instead of values convenient for the industry.
- Preparation of an independent multidisciplinary feasibility study regarding the future of Gulf industries.
Public participation is an essential condition for the success of the activity. Mayor to choose
In this way, he will not "fight alone", as Mr. Yahav claimed, but will find the public on his side
Ready for cooperation.

With a mayor like this, who lacks direction, initiative and flight, who flips according to the directions of the wind, with receipts of failure to make any kind of change in direction in this city for a decade (apart from idle talk and media spins, and perhaps with "concrete" and a little on the roads), a city whose entire face and actions are deteriorating … – there is no way you will get up.
Shuffle = Shuffle. Heaven = Heaven. Just = just….
