Minister Bennett Praises Businesses For Continuing

The Ministry of Economy said it remains at the disposal of businesses and will assist in regular official activity as much possible and will return to normal activities after Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip ends.

Minister of Economy Naftali Bennett wrote in an official letter received by the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) that he thanked the business sector on behalf of the Israeli government for the way it has stood strong during the operation in the south which has spread across the country.

He said it was not easy for businesses in all sectors to continue operating, but the way they had continued to operate showed their strength and their commitment to the State of Israel and its economy.

The experience of the 66 years of the existence of the State of Israel showed that its economy was strong and could stand up to all the challenges and threats to it.

The Ministry of Economy said it remains at the disposal of businesses and will assist in regular official activity as much possible and will return to normal activities after Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip ends.

The Ministry of Economy will also help speed up claims for damages suffered by businesses as a result of the Hamas rocket attacks in claims to the Ministry of Finance and the Tax Authority.

Despite the conflict being forced on Israel, the government is committed to bringing back peace and quiet in order for business to return to normal and economic growth to continue.

He concluded by thanking workers and their families for being "the backbone of the Israeli economy".
