The State Comptroller's interim report on the handling of the corona crisis reveals a long list of shortcomings that need treatment. However, it does not touch on the main failure: decision-making in the government and in the Corona Cabinet. Even those who agree with Matanyahu Engelman's view that there is no room for personal criticism of decision-makers will find it difficult to justify the lack of criticism of decision-making processes. In doing so, the comptroller misses an opportunity for a thorough repair, and instead of going up to the government floor, he stays in the field clerks

There is no doubt that returning first- and second-graders to school is much more important. It is not only that the importance to the economy of first and second grade students is greater, because it is more difficult to keep them at home, even with a big brother. It is also the tremendous damage done to first graders in literacy and basic arithmetic. The Minister for Social Equality, Meirav Cohen, asked the cabinet why not switch, that grades 1-2 would be in full capsules and grades 3-4 would study alternately. Education Minister Yoav Galant's unconvincing answer was that there was a...

More than 300,000 Corona fines were imposed on Israelis - almost 80% have not paid them so far

More than 300,000 fines, with a total value of NIS 170 million, were imposed by the Israeli police on civilians for various violations of corona laws and regulations. So far, only about NIS 30 million has been paid, for 70,000 fines. The high number of fines and the burden imposed on citizens during a deep economic crisis raises the question of whether fines do achieve their purpose - deterring the public from violating regulations, and preventing the infection and spread of the corona virus. While the purpose of the laws and fines imposed for non-compliance is to maintain physical...

In recent weeks, the tax authority has approached about 150 self-employed people who have received compensation for losses since the outbreak of the corona crisis - and demanded that they return the money they received. According to a senior PA official, it turns out that dozens of self-employed people demanded the funds based on losses incurred by them this year compared to last year. However, an examination carried out by the Tax Authority revealed that some of them did not receive the grants or were overpaid, as their losses were lower than the conditions eligible for the grant. In a...

The rating agency Moody's published on Wednesday an explanation of Israel's credit rating, after last weekend it postponed its rating decision from October 23 to a later date, thus effectively maintaining an A1 rating. Moody's notes that the main risk to Israel's credit rating is Israel's debt burden, Israel's long-term demographic trends (apparently referring to population growth where employment rates are as low as the ultra-Orthodox and Arabs - etc.) and the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Against the background of the polarized political system that also threatens fiscal policy,...
