Amit Eliyahu, deputy chairman of the El Al workers committee, spoke in an interview on Reshet Bet about the company's economic crisis, saying: "We are not sitting in front of the finance ministry, which will not agree to sit with the committees. The management each time proposes a plan to the ministry, and it comes with further requests."
Eliyahu emphasized "We are ready for a painful streamlining, but the finance ministry is probably looking for more grandiose things." Asked if the ministry was looking to close the company, Eliyahu replied: "This is how it looks."
