In Haifa they are waiting for the fateful decision
Tonight, 27/11/2016, we filmed (in the dark) the meeting with property tax officials, in a house that was damaged by fire and completely destroyed. Property tax personnel work diligently and diligently in the field to perform assessments. We thank them for that.
At the meeting, a property tax man explained to us the complex situation in which the Haifaites find themselves whose houses were destroyed.
The decision that this is a terrorist incident has not yet been made by the Israeli government. In the meantime, property tax people, with dedication (!!!), perform assessments in the field. Minister Kahlon announced that the assessments are planned to be completed by Thursday, 1/12/2016, but here you see that as of the evening of Sunday, 27/11/2016, there is still no certainty as to who will pay. According to the law, property tax intervenes only in a catastrophic event. So if it is decided that this is a sabotage event, then the State of Israel will pay, and if it is a non-sabotage event, then the insurance will pay, if there is insurance.
The spokesperson of the Minister of Finance gave a response to Lai Pa: the notification about the circumstances of the fire should be received tomorrow from the Israel Police. The Minister of Finance's directive is that the appraisers work diligently, even before the decision is made, in order not to waste time. Tomorrow, apparently, an official decision is expected.
Watch the conversation that honestly explains how complex our situation is
