MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) announced Friday that the Knesset passed a comprehensive law to regulate Israel's waste management sector, which he said would end the 'environmental terrorism' of illegal waste burning. The law, passed in its second and third readings, introduces unprecedented mechanisms: digital monitoring of waste trucks, full end-to-end liability from producer to disposal site, a closed and monitored payment system, and strict penalties for violators. Kroizer thanked environmental organizations, local authorities, the Environmental Protection Ministry, and fellow MKs for advancing the law. The legislation marks a significant step in addressing long-standing public health and environmental concerns from unregulated waste burning, which had plagued communities across Israel.
