Yossi Shalom: "We're tired of hearing about Haifa's potential, now we're doing it!" • Special interview ► Watch

(haipo) - Three months to Yossi Shalom's entry into the position of Deputy Mayor of Haifa. In addition to this, Shalom holds the portfolio of culture, the portfolio of young people and young families, the portfolio of the gay community and the portfolio of beaches and sailing and was also elected to serve as the chairman of the Atos company.

In a special interview for Hai Fa-TV, tells Shalom about his many plans as part of his new duties, and about the work around the clock whose goal is to finally realize Haifa's great potential.


Shalom started working immediately upon accepting the position. "Each of the cases is a whole world," he says and recounts the large investment, when the ambition is to bring about the changes being felt by the residents already in the next year or two, despite the complex challenges that are added to the work - the war period and reduction in budgets.

Shalom talks about the detailed plans to keep the young people in Haifa, about cultural events and activities that the city has to provide and their suitability for the age group. On the state of the gay community in the city, an issue that requires hard work, since in the previous term nothing was done in this area, according to him.

Shalom aims to produce a significant and rapid improvement in the quality of life of Haifa residents, with one of the first topics being the creation of shade in public spaces - beaches, playgrounds, parks and more. Shalom also brings happy news to surfers: the opening of the surfing club which is expected to be held in the coming months.

You should watch all the segments of the interview we conducted with Shalom - here they are:

The young people will return to Haifa, which will be the capital of the north • Watch

Shalom promises that Haifa will be the first city in Israel that will know how to take in the young families and give them the best response.


Culture • "Lots of big plans"

"Horov 14 will be reopened - also for Arab society"

The integration of the Arab society in cultural events (Photo: Samer Odeh Karamantinji - Hai Pa-TV)

Shalom refers to the issue of culture in the city also in the aspect of the integration of Arab society, especially regarding the major cultural events. Because in the events brochure produced for the month of June there was no inclusion of any Haifa Arabs even though Haifa has many musicians, singers, stand-up artists and comedians and actors who have gained international recognition. It is important to note that there has been an amazing change in regards to the community centers in the city and activities for all ages. It is also important to integrate other sectors, he says, ex-Soviet Union, ex-Ethiopia, etc. in a diverse city.

  1. We believe in the city We believe in the mayor We believe in Yossi Shalom We must all take care of keeping the young people in Haifa to build an open future for them, to put Haifa on the world map as it was in terms of tourism, culinary education, and more than that. Haifa is a huge metropolitan city thanks to the people who sit at its head.
    His nose was huge
    love you

  2. Yossi entered the position with true intentions and execution capabilities. There are those who think that it is possible to change the city using magic words Abra Kadabra, or waving a magic staff - wrong. It doesn't work that way. Good luck to you Yossi

  3. Excellent Yossi Shalom.
    Go check, for example, the master plan for the development of bicycle paths in Haifa, why is it not being implemented?
    Go and check, for example, the free parking for pensioners - why give free parking to rich pensioners with budget pensions and not to soldiers and reservists who live in Haifa?
    Canceled the city of youth and food festivals in Haifa, why not bring back the city of youth at the end of the summer and hold festivals again?

  4. I returned from Herzliya. Really recommended, it's like coming back from abroad. Full of new cultural institutions. Some 10 new schools being built. Well-maintained parks. The beach is a wide and clean promenade. A large marina
    full of young people The high-tech area is in a huge boom of projects and office personnel, contrary to Matam
    Not behind walls but part of the city with hundreds of restaurants. The city center is clean, no dirt, no businesses
    Doubtful, no bastards, no bastards. Centers of excellence, gifted centers. All new buildings.
    Return to Haifa to see the surroundings on the destroyed center train full of dirt.
    To hear all the empty promises of corporations that have been starring for years in the municipal auditor's reports with failed management, failed maintenance and huge deficits such as Ethos that simply needs to be closed
    and re-establish after the state auditor's reports on disgraceful conduct. And continue as if
    Nothing in zero investment in equipment, buildings, maintenance and development. Only promises and promises. The money goes to the salary of the deputy mayor and secretary's assistants and speakers and publicists..

  5. As I always said about Haifa - potential 100 - realization 001 - sad for this wasted city - we'll see you Yossi Tzabikur at the beach.
