“They found it hard to avoid crying” was the title of an article published by the Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, disclosing details of a meeting between businessmen investing in north of occupied Palestine and members of Negev-Galilee development committee in the Knesset.
The Zionist paper mentioned that the businessmen of the North are collapsing under the impact of the total paralysis caused by Hezbollah attacks, whose end do not loom in the horizon.
Head of the regional council in the North said that the businessmen are incapable of waiting limitlessly, amid the absence of the governmental role, the paper added.
The Chief Executive Officer of Upper Galilee Economic Firm reported that many firms are endangered by collapse as they will be unlikely visited by tourists although they are several kilometers away from the borders with Lebanon.
Moty Ohana, a business owner, told the Knesset committee that he fruitlessly tried to obtain financial compensations from the government, adding that he took a loan to manage with survival.
A closed hotel owner screamed, “People are collapsing and having heart attacks.”
Yedioth Ahronoth indicated that Hezbollah attacks are causing the situation in the North to exacerbate as around 100 thousand settlers have been displaced with meager intention to return and almost 10 thousand firms are facing an existential threat.
