סמוטריץ' חתם על הפחתת המס – זה המחיר החדש שתשלמו לליטר דלק

Assessment

The Finance Minister is again stepping in to soften a fuel price spike, this time with a 50-agorot cut that would hold the price at 7.85 shekels instead of the projected 8.35. The relief is temporary, lasting only 26 days, so the underlying jump is deferred, not eliminated. The order still needs to clear a public comment period before Smotrich signs it. That process leaves room for the price to change again before it takes effect.
