During an extraordinary council meeting held today (Wednesday, 4/8/2021), the members of the Haifa City Council voted to deny the salaries of the deputy mayors and acting mayors, Nachshon Tzuk and Michi Alper.
The vote passed with a majority of 19 supporters against 4 opponents and one member abstained.
Watch the moment of voting:
Councilors then voted to appoint new deputies without pay. Councilors Shimshon Ido of the Likud, Sofi Nakash of the Yona Yahav faction and Haifa youth and his father Han of the Greens were appointed to the position.

Ido was appointed by a majority of 18 supporters against 4 opponents and one member who abstained.
Shimshon Ido said before the vote for his nomination:
Even a drunk who goes to a tavern should drink something (water) on the way. You are dealing with managing 2030 instead of dealing with what is happening here and now. We are in the opposition and we accept it with love.
You had an opportunity, but during your time no minister wanted to meet with you (in the previous government - S.B.). Your coalition members have become pots. They realized there was no one to work with.

Hahn was appointed by a majority of 19 supporters against 4 opponents.
Abihu Han said before the vote for his nomination:
Our goal is to move the city forward. I will give my phone to the residents of Haifa because I am at their disposal. I will be at their disposal 24/7 following your failure, Klish, and that of your fellow leaders.
We cut down hundreds of trees every year. Because of this, we are destroying the special beauty of the city.
The management in the local committee was simply a disgrace. There will be no hiding under us.
We will act against construction offenders. We will use strong enforcement against them.

Naksh was appointed by a majority of 19 supporters against 3 opponents and one member who abstained.
Sofi Nakash said before the vote for her appointment:
In the last two years, the city has been run like a remote village in a third world country. The administration in the city is improper. We have become a development town. There is a NIS 40 million drop in property tax revenue. You are the ones who are bringing the city to economic collapse. The budgets are diverted to ideas disconnected from reality, while education, culture, roads and cleaning are not properly managed. I pray for a miracle, because otherwise we will all crash. The finance committee is run by amateurs , without a plan and without transparency. Materials requested by committee members are not sent. Committee members are asked to be a rubber stamp of the budget of the third largest city in Israel.
Whoever ensures the improvement of the road condition in Haifa will win our votes
Alper blackmailed the mayor to accept the mayor's office when he only has 2 mandates.... 2 city councilors out of 36.... Bennett learned from him that the head of Israel can serve in 6 Knesset members out of 120.... There is no doubt that they worked to elect Klish and get rid of Yona Yahav, who is a traditional man, is needed here... Yona Yahav was a strong mayor and good to everyone.... except for Alper who did not arrange a job for him
Also, regarding the taking of a place in the Shatz synagogue of the Rabbi Shalita, they do not behave like this...
The dismissed deputies should be required to return their salary from their first day. They didn't do anything anyway.
Kalish appointed Alfer as a political apologist for supporting him
He has no previous management skills and no track record
He took advantage of a political situation and now complains.
Yona Yahav already recognized his personality and did not appoint him as lieutenant
And now all his failures have arrived and he is whining
The time has come for the last domino to fall and elections will be held immediately for the mayor of Haifa, as they were when the mayor of Eilat entered the Knesset a few months ago.
The mayor needs to understand that the public that elected her, also elected council members to the same extent, and if those who were in the coalition with her do not have confidence in her leadership, she has in fact lost the confidence of the public in Haifa. If the person who sat with her on the podium of the deputies has already spoken harshly about her way of management (both Etzioni and Lazar), then, dear lady, it's time for you to draw conclusions.
If you think that the public in Haifa supports you, then you certainly don't have to worry about elections. Let's dissolve the council, let's go to the elections for both the mayor and the council. If you're afraid, then probably rightly, that you won't let anyone in and won't be elected, it's a shame to drag you into a two-year state of stagnation. Put the keys, enough.
Mazel Tov to his father, Kash and testify on their election as deputy mayors of Haifa. I would like to act together with the mayor of Haifa, Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, for the sake of Haifa and its residents, that your door will always be open to the residents. I was with the mayor and left the yeshiva due to a family event. Good night
As soon as he started with Rebbe Shachat Wiznitz here he received the blow from heaven.
Let's hope she leaves for good and releases the residents of Haifa as her hostages
Warm congratulations to lieutenants Ido, Aviahu and Naksh. I would ask you to act together with the mayor of Haifa, Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, for the sake of Haifa and its residents. I was at a yeshiva and sat next to Breuer Shaked and I enjoyed it very much. Einat left the yeshiva because there was an important family event and therefore she asked that because of the event she had to leave the yeshiva. I hugged Einat and I wished her to continue working for the city of Haifa, the third largest city in the country. Einat was very happy to hear my congratulations to her because as I explained to Breuer, I and Einat have known each other since before she was elected mayor of Haifa. A charming woman, with a pleasant manner and her word is a word. Well done Einat. Yours with deep love Rafi Rafoul - Hasson, Horev 5, Haifa.
Wow
Well done, the talks are over, we will now move on to the truth test = results!
All the best to the Shanoi Council, it's time for Kalish to draw a conclusion from the dangers of the demolition of the city of Haifa and to protect us from it. Kalish, go home. I wouldn't let you manage a grocery store. To map the situation of the shelters in Haifa, establish a district administration in each district that can apply to 5 districts
Thank you for your cooperation
Michi Alper There is a God in heaven who sees and knows everything.
He punished you and he has a very, very good reason
It's time for you to start doing some real soul searching
what fun!!! I'm opening champagne tonight. Michy Alper with several apartments, several cars, people who finance him... and crying that he has 9 children to feed. Hahaha... not ashamed!! Go stand at the intersection and collect alms. Man is infinitely rich. This is the best news. You deserve it!!! Everything you have earned should go... there is a creator for the world!!! Cheers to everyone who voted for the impeachment. Happy night!
Let's see if there will be a very significant change in Haifa from the change coalition, or if they will cause very significant damage like this leftist and Arab government of Bennett and Lapid the dictators and like the new evil dictatorial coalition in the Knesset.
