In a Facebook post, commentator Amichai Attali argues that the 500% increase in disabled parking permits from 74,000 in 2006 to 445,000 today reflects a systemic problem, not a genuine disability need. He calls for a social reckoning ahead of Tisha B'Av.
Commentator Amichai Attali, in a Facebook post, highlights the surge in disabled parking permits from 74,000 in 2006 to 445,000 today—a 500% increase. He describes the phenomenon as a 'social combo' running under the cover of doctors, questioning whether it reflects a genuine need or a systemic exploitation of the system.
As The Zioneer reported on June 30, State Comptroller Matanyahu Engelman issued a sharp report on the same issue, noting that 17% of Israeli vehicles now carry disabled tags and criticizing vague eligibility criteria, lax approval processes, and inadequate enforcement. Attali’s commentary adds a moral dimension, calling for a public reckoning especially on Tisha B'Av, a day of collective introspection.
