This evening, the Transport and Finance ministries sent a joint letter to coalition chairman Ofir Katz, warning that blocking the traffic-relief reform will worsen Israel's chronic road congestion. The letter, reported by N12, describes the moment as a 'historic hour' and says failure to advance the bill will harm citizens' quality of life.
Earlier today, Israeli media reported that the reform would not come to a vote due to coalition disputes, with the Transport Ministry separately warning of the consequences. The bill is part of a broader legislative package that has stalled amid tensions between coalition factions.
