(haipo) - Yona Yahav, the mayor elected in the second round of elections, today (Sunday 1/4/23) entered the mayor's office, which he was forced to leave in the 2018 elections, when he lost to the outgoing mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem. We are broadcasting Yahav's entry into office from the field. Stay tuned, the materials are gradually going up here.
Yona Yahav returns to his office with his head held high ► Watch
A royal and exciting celebratory reception for the incoming mayor Yona Yahav was held this morning (Sunday 31/3/24) in the city hall square in the city hall building and the bureau. All the employees of the municipality welcomed the mayor with joy, love and warmth as if for five years they had prayed and hoped for his return and the longed-for day had come true. It is impossible to hide the great joy among the employees who all flocked from all departments and wings to express their joy at his return and their love for him. He was received with hugs and kisses accompanied by old friends.
Yahav, as usual, entered with a humble, sociable smile and the love he receives is returned twofold, he approaches, shakes hands and hugs back. He arrived full of motivation and full of appreciation for the workers in whom he believes and is sure that together they will return Haifa to a better state.
► Watch: "When Haifa is strong, the north is strong, when Haifa is weak, the north is left"
In the entrance speech, which was mainly addressed to the employees, Yahav said: "You are the General Staff patrol of this city. Only you are able to leverage the very precarious situation that the city is in and return it to what it was and leverage it even more to be the capital city of the entire north. We need it. We need it not as the city of Haifa but as the State of Israel, we never evacuated populations from the north not even in the Second Lebanon War because Haifa was strong today when Haifa is weak the north was left."
The next months will be crowded with schedules and work, it won't be a summer camp it will be hard
He added, we need to join hands and do the job and we know how to do the job. The next months will be crowded with schedules and work, it won't be a summer camp it will be hard. To restore the training of the residents in us and show them that this city is pleasant to live and work in, a city where there is room to see the future. I believe in you and you know how to do the job.
He returns to the mayor's office with his head held high and full of motivation
► Watch: Yahav refers to the outgoing mayor's letter and the overlap
As I recall, Yahav was loved and well-liked in the Haifa municipality. Many workers could not hide their tears when he left his office in 2018. When he won the elections, the workers let out a cheer of happiness and joy and waited for the day of his return. Today he was welcomed with open arms and smiling faces.
The pigs won't be here anymore
Today 1/4/24 the countdown begins. Yahav promised at the press conference in which he announced his candidacy for mayor that Haifa under his leadership would once again be the capital of the north and the capital of Israel's future economy. And that within 90 days of his taking office the pigs will no longer be here, a situation that the residents of the city of Haifa are waiting for and dreaming of.
Yahav also promised to restore personal security to the residents and bring back the municipal security patrol in cooperation with the police (combined policing of inspectors and police officers). The residents are waiting for Yahav to start working to implement and do what he promised in the election campaign, since this is a veteran-new mayor, who understands the needs of the city, understands management and leadership and does not need 100 grace days.
As you may remember, Yona Yahav was first elected to the position of mayor of Haifa in 2003, on behalf of the Shinio Party and the Green Party in Haifa. In 2008 he was elected for a second term and in 2013 he was elected for the third consecutive time as mayor. Yahav's loss in 2018 came, as I remember, when he was defeated by the inexperienced candidate at the time - Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem. He finished his position on November 19, 2018 and although he was elected as a member of the city council, he decided to retire about two months later.
With all the criticism directed at Yahav around the election period in 2018, and even though many Haifa residents were eager to replace him, it seems that in the five years of Kalish Rotem they learned an important lesson when they realized that not everything "new" is necessarily better.
We remind you that during Yahav's time thousands of housing units were built, a new neighborhood "Naot Peres" was established and built and the construction of the "Ramot Zemer" neighborhood began and a new outline plan for the city was approved. Yahav initiated and established the "Port Campus". In addition, he renovated, developed and promoted the downtown, including the renewal of Paris Square and new construction for residences, cafes and restaurants.
The Carmel tunnels were built during his tenure, the execution of which was initiated and promoted by the previous mayor, Amram Metzna. A number of major roads were built, including the Nahal HaGivori road, the Kiryat bypass road, and hundreds of kilometers of neighborhood roads were upgraded in the city. During Yahav's time, the matron began to operate throughout the city and the project to establish the "Hafaretz Center" began, which was inaugurated during the time of Kalish. In addition to the cable car project that was also inaugurated during the time of Klish.
This coming Wednesday, April 3.4.24, XNUMX, a festive city council meeting will be held, in which Yona Yahav will take his seat and officially assume his position as mayor. At the meeting, the deputy mayors, the chairmen of the municipal corporations, the chairmen of the municipal committees and the members of the committees will also be officially appointed.
Dear Yona, it is a pity that the deputy mayor is a supporter of Hamas. It is true that there is coexistence in this city, but not with the Hamas-ISIS supporters, not with the haters of the State of Israel. Yona's mistake and by and large please correct the mistake.
There is a chance that the 80-year-old Yahav will not have time to complete the term and his damages will not be great.
And who did Yona appoint as deputy mayor? You support Hamas Raja Zaatra.
The road to hell has begun... God save us.
If we see such a picture of brothers at the end of the term - we will know that the path has been successful. The partners learned opinion and opinion about the job of managing the city, and Jonah is the man and the munch to lead the gang. Everyone has something to learn from a pigeon, except the little rodents.
Very happy to see Yona Yahav back as mayor.
I believe in his leadership and the fact that he will march the city forward.
If I may ask?
A royal welcome? What are we in England?
More seems an artificial welcome
He didn't do much in the previous term (only for himself) and I am sure he will in the current term!!!!!!!
It doesn't seem to me that the residents of Haifa care at all who will be the mayor and they saw it in the vote. Then they won't come with complaints. Everyone who voted is close to this or that.
So if he is so good why did they throw him away?
They dreamed of "change"... and achieved it as we know... but over time they realized: "a winning horse - not an exchange"...!
What happened with Kaelish... did not read: "and did not know..."!
It is sometimes better to be familiar with experience than the unknown without professional experience, because "politics" = specialization in the profession: in the local, regional and national arena...!@✨️😍
Someone said: "The public is stupid, so the public will pay"...
Anyone who chose Yona Yahav has a short memory or dementia or is a corrupt judge.
As Eyal pointed out in his response, we endured him for 15 years until we kicked him out 5 years ago. We got someone much worse.
And yet, there was a real opportunity to make another change in the last election. Unfortunately, the low turnout played in his favor.
Now we will continue to suffer for another 5 years. A reasonable chance that after that Yona Yahav will no longer compete. Then the longed-for change will come in aspiration.
To remind you, according to the rules of the "democratic game", the residents of the city are both entitled and obliged... to choose the best in their opinion and for them... from among the competing "candidates"...!
And "Yahav" turns out to be the most excellent in many respects...!
Therefore, all that remains is to wish: e. C. To. H. God. Rabbi! #@✨️😍
Don't get lost among all the unnecessary quotation marks
Good luck to Mr. Yona "Yahav" without "Rahav" in the 4th term...!
And if it turns out to be as successful as expected, maybe you will get to break a record for 5 as well...!
Your success = our success!
It is very important to exterminate not only "wild pigs" but also "crime" which has grown and become very evident in the last term since your unnecessary retirement...!
"Ala and the success" "Yona" @ ודש is also warm to "Rebekah" our mother...! - walking by your side as a partner in the craft...!✨️😍✨️😍✨️😍✨️😍✨️😍
You meant Yahav who is all Rahab..
Shuponi who hides hundreds of omissions that we discovered in the last five years of his terms
6 state schools that he closed and destroyed entire neighborhoods.. property taxes that increased 17% in one term..
Oh oh, you will still eat H-R-A from the feces of the pigeon..
Good luck to you, Yona Yahav, Mayor. Improve our city, it needs it. And keep it liberal as well if you can ask without extremists from Jewish power and without extremists from Balad and Havd.
Your success is the success of our city.
with your synthetic liberalism
Good luck Mr. Mayor
Yona Yahav blames Kalish for Haifa's weakness. Then he blames the weakness of the north and the removal of the residents of the border with Lebanon. Ms. Kalish is to blame for everything the Bibi government did to us. According to Yona Yahav.
When I read you from cover to cover, I find your words more interesting than your writing. Organic or anal, but nothing original.
Weak manager=celebrating employees=losing customers
This is a mayor who was kicked out by two-thirds of the city's residents after 3 terms in which Haifa froze, entrepreneurs fled, 40 thousand young people abandoned, economic and social infrastructural destruction in the city, a huge deficit he created in the city's budget. Huge fires and Yahav's attempt to sign permits to triple the refinery pollution that was miraculously stopped in 3 two months before the elections.
Haifa municipality:
This is a municipality that "starred" in a free fall to the bottom of the efficiency and financial stability ranking of bdo coface, 31st place out of 34 municipalities. The property tax collection percentage is dozens of percent lower than the average. Low scores in all indicators of satisfaction, transparency, public inquiries, public participation processes, complete lack of trust between the public and the municipality during his time.
A militant and wasteful workers' committee that brought in hundreds of relatives using the clan system and a huge mess that was discovered in the departments of education, transportation, the director of engineering, welfare and more.
What are the celebrations and balloons about?!
Are the merry days of Pompeii back on the way to total destruction and huge deficits?
Eyal, do you have a more worthy candidate?
Isn't the rhetorical question redundant?
It's better to give a chance to someone who doesn't have 15 years of experience in destroying the city,
than someone who has 15 years of experience in destroying the city.
Shalom Yael - yes, everyone else who ran was more deserving, that's what's sad.
When you get up at three in the morning to pick up garbage from the streets of the city, you too will be able to share hundreds of your family members in this desirable job. and check
Re-echo to yourself in Wadi,
You neither add nor detract here, but are redundant and stuck.
Good luck to you and all who work with you.
Don't forget the little citizen this time please.
Return to the neighborhoods the committees that will cooperate with you and your representatives, we will have them here and together we will improve life in your beloved Haifa and for all of us..
Visit the neighborhoods and see their condition with your own eyes.
And please restore to Haifa its beauty that disappeared in the last five years - the traffic islands and squares that used to bloom all year round and improved the Haifa mood. the neglected roads and sidewalks.
Good luck and good health
