In an interview with Hai Fe, the Minister of Environmental Protection, Eidit Silman, told about the work meeting held in Haifa Municipality, during which key issues affecting the quality of life and the environment in the city were discussed. "The meeting was excellent. This is the third time in the last year that we come to Haifa, and this time we were happy to be hosted in the city hall building and not in HML," the minister noted.
Silman referred to the change in attitude with the municipal officials, thanks to the cooperation with the current mayor, Yona Yahav, and with local representatives such as council member Yaniv Ben Shoshan who is pushing to coordinate meetings. "In the past, we were not always able to reach the officials in the municipality. Today, there is a presence and responsiveness that allows us to promote important projects such as TMA 75, the sinking of the train, evacuation in Zan and Tsha'a, and the fight against hazards such as air pollution and noise in the cities. We have an obligation to continue taking care of the health and environment of the residents of Haifa."
Promotion of key issues
During the meeting, key issues were discussed: such as the evacuation of the petrochemical plants and the tank farms.

City Council member Yaniv Ben Shoshan, the initiator of the meeting, stated to Hai Pa:
"I thank Sara Silman for the important visit, as well as for the seriousness and commitment to promoting the issues discussed. I am in continuous contact with the minister and the people of her office in order to meet the target for the evacuation of the container farm in Kiryat Haim. And even before it, as part of a historical turning point in the city. Along with this, we are working on the issue of railroad subsidence, promoting green projects, reducing various environmental hazards, and more."
The current meeting marks the beginning of a new chapter in the cooperation between the authorities, with an emphasis on meeting the established national goals and sustainable development for the benefit of the residents of the city and the entire region.
How many times is Yaniv Ben Shoshan mentioned?
Everything will be tested in the test of the result and not the statements.
Sarah for the affairs of nothing and nothing, a hypocritical little zero.
The residents of Haifa are stupid. The previous mayor really dealt with the issue of evacuation and air quality. She did not know how to be a politician who works on a vacuum. This is what Sillman has been doing for years. Nothing. Zero. And which blade fits her like a glove
People who specialize in throwing sand in their eyes. And the residents of Haifa are elated. There is no improvement in air pollution in Haifa!!!!
Kahana was right to transfer now
Sleeping rough, in order to make a change in this city, we need first of all the right of quiet return, which our cousins do quietly, quietly, they rent or buy another apartment and more and more apartments in Haifa neighborhoods, at this rate they will soon be the majority in Haifa and maybe even now they are the majority and they have one goal to get us out of our home From our city to our country, I really suggest that people wake up before it's too late and those apartment owners who sell to them or rent to them, it will pass you by as well.
Silman the scum of the human race.
laughs In Zen they will bend everyone. The CEO has already met with Defense Minister Katz and Netanyahu received a promise that nothing will be stirred up and everything will be sorted out for at least another decade.
Regarding the fuel farm, for each tank that is emptied, Hal has permission to build a new one.
They work on us with their eyes.
Unfortunately all the responses are correct, I didn't know she was Sara, there is only Sara with Eita
With all due respect, neither Minister nor this government has any real executive ability...
An important working meeting with the Minister Mrs. Idit Silman. Good morning and welcome to everyone.
I was indeed surprised to read this article, I hope that Minister Silman will stand behind her words and will indeed carry out all the evacuations, developments and changes she promises us. Days will tell. Meanwhile, many funds are invested in ultra-orthodox education.
Blah blah blah..talking like sand and nothing to eat..luckily this thing doesn't cost money...a dream
Minister for Political Bribery and Job Distribution.
A politician of the most devious kind.
Does nothing for the environment.
Only for herself and her relatives.
Perfect for the terrible government we have.
A treacherous and ugly chicken
It's a shame that this woman sings in Israel
Excellent
Immediately after you finish destroying the country once again, you will be free to take care of Haifa
Hahahaha, you laughed, the minister for the quality of nothing, spreads smiles and promises, just a question, with a crazy deficit that will not close in the next decade at least how will you turn factories, where does the budget for creating essential energy sources come from, in short talk separately and actions separately, but what's new about talking everyone is excellent.
Why didn't you mention Yaniv Ben Shoshan?
The sea is polluted because of sewage! We need to invent chemical toilets with acid so that the sewage will melt!!!!! There are such portable toilets, without the need to connect to the sewer! Laboratory hint in Katsrin! Roman Katz hint! Hint Pavel Statsenko! Remez Grisha laboratory manager
Come on. A meeting with the holomaniac who has nothing to do with protecting the environment. vice versa
Until today, everything is talk and plans. Another "blurring" of the municipal systems by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Is there a decision that will be implemented tomorrow morning?
