The restaurant industry is threatening another revolt: "Israeli restaurateurs will no longer agree to be a tool in the political game," says Shai Berman, chairman of the restaurant association. The union added that they intend to publish a purple label of the restaurant association, which will include a wider occupancy, and call on restaurateurs to follow it.
The Minister of Finance, Israel Katz, has decided to promote "accelerated depreciation" in the amount of NIS 2 billion as an immediate means of encouraging investment and accelerating activity in the economy.
