The heads of the authorities of Safed, Hazor HaGalilit and Rosh Pina came out today (Sunday) in a joint call to the State of Israel to help businesses in view of the difficult security reality that led to a complete economic collapse.

The head of the Galilee Hazor Council Michael Kabasa said: “”The State of Israel must wake up, the economy in the north is collapsing, businesses have been abandoned for seven months, the Galilee is a combat zone with severe uncertainty. Therefore, I, together with the mayor of Safed, Yossi Kakun and the head of the Rosh Pina council, Moti Hatiel They call on the government to intervene urgently, and include Hazor HaGalilit, Safed and Rosh Pina in the list of grant recipients and save the businesses from collapse.

Michael Cabasa also stated that: “The economy in the Galilee is based on tourism, an industry that has been completely shut down due to the security situation. I meet business owners who have been affected by 70 to 80 percent, they are unable to survive, our economy is under a double threat: the missiles and the UAVs on the one hand, And the lack of immediate financial assistance – on the other hand. Don't abandon the businesses, without an immediate aid plan there will be no trade left and people will go bankrupt!”
