Yachin Zik, director of activities at the Regavim movement, took part this morning in a discussion held by the Subcommittee for the Treatment of Air Pollution caused by Waste Incineration, headed by Knesset Member Yael German.
According to Zik, "The committee headed by Knesset Member German has done extensive and commendable work, in the face of the environmental hazard that is seriously damaging the environment and health of Israeli citizens.
"The committee did not manage to get deeper on the issue of dealing with waste incineration in Judea and Samaria due to the early dissolution of the Knesset, and even the data appearing in the report regarding Judea and Samaria was short, but noted that the Ministry of Environmental Protection understood the importance of the issue and even brought it into its work plans for 2019. "
He added that "Environmental hazards do not recognize the Green Line and harm the health of all citizens, regardless of who is the relevant enforcement official. We will continue to keep a finger on the pulse to ensure that the committee's conclusions are implemented, and that the issue of waste incineration is dealt with properly throughout the country."
