“We began with Open Skies, and now we’re going to Open Seas,” said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announcing the tenders for new ports.
“I am not prepared to accept this monopoly. It’s over. I am telling the Histadrut that it’s over. 2,000 people will not strangle us and will not paralyze the economy. Nothing will deter us. We must do this well, but we will do it. The era of the monopolies at Israel’s seaports is over,” said the prime minister at today’s press conference, where he officially announced the tender for the construction of two new ports at Haifa and Ashdod.
