The Minister of Transportation attacked her predecessor in the position of Minister Israel Katz and claimed that he did nothing during his long years in the ministry.There was a bulldozer transport minister with good intentions and bad execution” and received criticism from surfers
Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli continues to lash out against the backdrop of the election campaign and this time attacks Transportation Minister Israel Katz, when he was succeeded by Bezalel Smotrich and Miri Regev who served in the ministry since he left: “I have no intention of quarreling with my predecessor in the position, but I have to say this once and for all: Israel Katz was Minister of Transportation A bulldozer with good intentions and bad execution – promoted private vehicles at the expense of the National Insurance Company.
According to Michaeli, who herself receives criticism from the right and the left for her poor and failed performance: “For him, buses and trains were the backyard of Israeli transportation. Israel’s traffic jam minister. We are also fixing this sinkhole.”
Michaeli’s words came in the background of a tweet by former minister Israel Katz in which he attacked her: “Mirav Michaeli. There has never been a minister who has done so little and talked so much. Instead of blaming the Likud governments for every sinkhole that opens up in the road, and trying to appropriate credits for projects that were carried out before her time – It is better that you continue the tremendous momentum of action that I led in the Ministry of Transportation.”
The transport reporter of ‘Kan Ha’od’ Sharon Idan responded to Michali and claimed: “Simply not true. He and how he promoted the field. The train, and this is just one example – until Israel Katz was an anecdote. He took it as a flagship project and brought it to completely different areas. Dozens of stations that didn’t exist, the Jerusalem line and much more. His decade was full of all kinds of work. Anyone like him knows that I also made him die quite a bit.”
Idan also added: “What he did in the field of aviation and the open skies, when faced with half-giant pressure, no minister would have done. Thanks to him, people fly today at a quarter of the price. All the tenders of the CAA companies that have been added in recent years – this is him. A completely partial list”.
And there were those who reminded her of what ‘News 12’ reporter Amalia Duak wrote, but four days ago: “From the beginning, Michaeli saw in the Ministry of Transportation a condolence award and preferred another appointment. During her tenure, tenders got stuck, the light rail continued to be delayed and no significant step was taken to reduce the use of private vehicles. What a waste it is to put in such a strategic office someone who is constantly squinting at the next job.”
