The new composition of the Haifa City Council: the factions that got stronger, the factions that surprised and those that were left out

(haipo) - The assembly of the new city council of Haifa will be diverse and interesting. The factions that increased their strength, the factions that weakened and those that remained outside the council, such as the faction headed by the outgoing mayor, Einat Kalish Rotem - "Life in Haifa".

The faction that surprised and grew in particular is the "Our Haifa" faction led by the incoming mayor (or more accurately - the returning) Yona Yahav. The Arab representatives became stronger and will win 4 mandates in the new city council, after winning only 2018 mandates in 2.

The faction of the outgoing mayor, Einat Kalish Rotem - "Haim in Haifa", remains, as mentioned, outside the city council, after not winning a single mandate. So is the faction of the outgoing mayor's deputy and deputy mayor, Nachshon Tzuk, head of the Tech and City faction.

The factions that received the most mandates:

"Our Haifa" faction Under the leadership of the elected mayor, Yona Yahav, it received the highest number of mandates - 5 in number, which means 5 representatives in the city council.

The "Green Blue and White" faction, led by Avihu Han, the first member of Lihav before the second round of elections, won 3 mandates, a lower number than it received in 2018, when it received 4 mandates, but maintained its power as the second largest faction in the council.

The factions that received 2 mandates:

  • Our home factionUnder the leadership of David Etzioni, it received 2 mandates.
  • Likud faction Led by Yaniv Ben Shoshan, it received 2 mandates.
  • The Haifa faction for us - a new contract Under the leadership of Sarit Golan, it received 2 mandates.
  • Hadash faction Led by Raja Zaatara, it received 2 mandates and maintains its power.
  • Our Haifa faction Under the leadership of Tatiana John, she received 2 mandates and also continues to maintain her power.
  • Yesh Atid faction and Haifa youth Under his leadership, Yossi Shalom received 2 mandates.
  • led by the pensioners' lobby faction Israel Savion received 2 mandates and became stronger in relation to the 2018 elections, when it held only one mandate.

  • Faction I live here Led by Kirill Kartnik, it received a mandate.
  • Balad faction Led by Sharvel Dekuer, returns to the city council with one mandate, this after being left out of the city council in the 2018 elections and failing to pass the percentage of obstruction.
  • Resident flag faction Under the leadership of Michi Alper, it received one mandate and its power weakened after it received two mandates in the previous elections.
  • A faction connected to Haifa and Kiryat Haim Under the leadership of Yaakov Borovsky, it received one mandate.
  • Most of the city faction Under the leadership of Sally, the surprise worked and received one mandate.
  • Shas faction (The World Association of Sephardic Torah Observers) received one mandate and continued to maintain its power.

  1. It's simply unbelievable the list of the elected officials in Haifa, fifty percent of them are terrorists, scary at severe levels

  2. Two doublings of power compared to the previous term:
    The Arab factions doubled from two mandates to four.
    The pensioners faction doubled from one mandate to two.
    Haifa is already an aging city when the young Jews leave. Not sure that this is the future that wants a retiree or a retiree in 5 years - but here, this is what we chose for the council. sad.
    A fourth term (!) for a candidate who I thought we said was an ineligible age (to be healthy until 120) has a 5-year term ahead of him.

  3. I think the first important thing that every resident would like from the elected mayor is to plug the potholes on the entrance and exit roads from Haifa in the direction of Highway 2 South.
    The experience of entering these pits is very unpleasant and the car's tires are destroyed.

  4. I knew this was what would happen, we went back 20 years, instead of moving forward
    This city will continue to be second hand
    Full throttle, we'll see what the new mayor of Haifa will do
    We'll see if it handles the bad roads
    In the old infrastructure, there are streets in the city
    that have not been stratified for decades
    The pigs flood the Carmel and Neve Shanan I wonder what the mayor will do
    The chosen one is given 100 days of grace, we'll see if something moves!!!

  5. Eli, what did you write, it is not clear why you believe that Diona will approve the immigration of many Arabs from the Arab villages. . First of all to me. Not coming only to the mayor depends on all the residents of Haifa. They are our Jews ready to sell their houses to the Arabs because the Arabs know how to buy the Jews by raising the price and the selling Jew is ready for them at the price they increased to give the selling Jews. To me, the whole thing is about our people. To us the Jews who do not think about their fellow Jews. In the past, they would not allow any Arab to be sold to live in Jewish neighborhoods. By the way, the Arabs themselves do not allow any Jew to be a reactor in their neighborhood. They do not see themselves as racist, but if a Jew is not ready then he is a racist. I say firsthand. Let them say that my husband separated from his wife and he lives in Kiryat Ata. See a house for rent in Shafaram. . Meet with the owner of the apartment and everything between them. On the day he should have entered. The superintendent told him sorry. The neighbors do not allow a Jew to come near them. So please for the decoration, we the residents can come to any seller and landlord who won't rent to them. Not healthy for anyone. They live differently from our lives, our children will hang out together and it is scary from assimilation.

  6. Good luck Yona Yahav..we are all with you..with Sarit Golan Avihu Han..Yossi Shalom…..a city without crime..a clean city..
    ...clean from wild boars..green nature..against the destruction of neighborhoods with the construction of destructive roads in the interior..in favor of the green..in favor of preserving nature..reasonable urban development without damage to the neighborhoods and without damage to the residents...police presence on the roads at night for deterrence..amen and amen..

  7. Many Arab parties, probably the immigration of Arabs to Haifa will increase, maybe this is good? In any case, Yahav did not build a single modern children's playground in Haifa, there are no places to take the children with bicycles (in the neighborhood, not in the 19th chapter! ) There is no shade in playgrounds. The cable car project that does not serve the residents of Haifa. Education is in a difficult situation. And what is certain is that the property tax will increase because Yahav wants to add more municipal employees. I wish the municipality workers would come from Haifa and not from other cities, so that when they want to strike they will think about it at least twice.

  8. If Haifa does not panic, there is a future for Haifa.
    If you panic, another city in Israel will stop contributing to the state.

    • It will simply flood in the evenings, it is better, there is no doubt that the city is going to drain

    • Haifa will intervene (from the language to become Arab) and become a religious Muslim with masses of muezzins. Not an ultra-Orthodox Jew, but an ultra-Orthodox Muslim. it's better?

  9. Before the pigs and above all, first of all, shields or oblige tenants to build MMD and not wait for approvals.

  10. Nir Shuver Hogi Beit 2018: "All the troubles of Haifa in the last decade can be summed up in two words: Yona Yahav"
    Sarit Golan Hogi Beit 2018: "What kind of rabbit will you pull for us in the fourth term? Yona failed, you failed. That's it."

    • Two birds with one stone: both Kalish and her guard dog, the powerful and nasty man, Nachshon Tzuk outside.
      Add to that Ramati's stay outside and it's already a real pleasure.
      Full disclosure: I voted for Zvika Barbi who during the past term saw him come to work.
      Yona Yahav is not my favorite (and I also think in general that there should be an age limit for the election of mayor or prime minister) but compared to Kalish he is in a different league.

  11. A sad day for Haifa, a day of national mourning, for the security that was recently in Haifa will be shaken in the face of the extremists of Blood and the support for the extreme left. It was a great luck from heaven that Ben Gvir and Yoav Ramati from Otzma Yehudit increased the standby classes and the National Guard and God willing, everyone is armed and we will continue to walk with our heads held high in a Jewish state with a Jewish appearance And ultra-Orthodox are not allowed to turn Haifa into Gaza

    • All the pigs have long since taken over power sources and fat pits. Every new business in Haifa knows which pig needs to be paid so that they don't burn down their store. The police, with gag orders and favors with the media, keep the public out of it, but there is indeed a big pig problem in Haifa

  12. Good luck to the smugglers and those leaving.

  13. Good luck to everyone. Work very hard for our city Haifa
    Have a lovely day

  14. Net Zionism of Ramati supported by Ben Gabir outside. And it's a good thing.
    On the other hand, Bled, which did not pass even in the national elections, passed in Haifa.
    While we fell asleep, you will see the processes happening in Haifa.

  15. Good luck to Yona Yahav and all his partners.
    It will take time to calm down from the disaster that the Supreme Court caused when it trained the previous mayor, who disappeared from our lives, she and her few people. Even Nachshon Tzuk, the loyal escort, ran separately from her. This is what the voters get incompetent figures and prefer empty slogans.

  16. Wouldn't it be better to write who the 31 members of the council are and next to their names to write age, seniority in the council and the faction?

  17. Don't understand how people choose you?
    Now the corruption will continue where it left off five years ago.
    And others say that Haifa will move forward.

    • David, shame on you and all your friends for slandering the Haifa workers. I worked in Haifa for 40 years. I knew that I had to give every resident the connections, and we were approached by residents with all kinds of requests for help, and our doors were open to everyone. It was a beautiful relationship. By the smile that everyone approaches us with every request. And what was the beautiful cauldron of the sea workers, we received an outstanding Haifa municipality from the local government. You found people working stink shame on you for weeds how you managed to destroy everything
      Employees left the job because Klish behaved in a humiliating manner and did not respond to their request for support and help from her supervisor and she terminated them. And no one likes to work without results and success in projects. She was them the world has no money. And indeed many workers were fired and people from Deon went into their offices and closed their doors. And each of the workers was not without desire to work until their work in despair. This is what I heard from fellow employees and the projects were not done because she did not respond to their inquiries. You caused destruction and we received a blow on the head and a cut in everything. Tarantino is in ornamental gardens. Neglected schools did not prepare them and their harassment for the arrival of students in schools. In the elections we saw how schools are neglected. We all together must be patient. Let the mayor act and anyone who scans for any support to turn to the municipality and the smiley people will receive every request. I saw the shouts of the workers that Jonah had returned. And whoever ran away to come and complain and not hurt everyone!

  18. The main thing is that in the previous elections most of you shouted only not Yona Yahav. And here the seer brought Zetra to be his lieutenant.
    Wasn't Zetra supposed to live his life in Egypt?!

  19. A large part of the clowns stayed outside. It is true that Yahav is not my wish, but to be worse than he was, you have to be an elite.
    Let's hope that the city council will function.

  20. Haifa Beitenu realized that it made a mistake with Etzioni and can join Yahav.
    We will have 5 years of quiet and professional work in the city.
    Successfully

  21. Now we will see who will do for the residents of Haifa and not just talk/write in the media.
    Before the elections, they made many promises and gave them the mandates to act.
