In all our companies in trade and commerce, actual property, motels, banking and finance, women and men, secular and spiritual individuals, Arabs and Jews, individuals of the best, middle and left, all the political spectrum, work collectively in full concord and with mutual respect.

“As enterprise individuals and as managers of over 500,000 staff within the Israeli economic system we’re scrupulous about full equality of rights and respectful discourse in our corporations, and want to carry to the eye of the general public that in talks now we have held previously few weeks and days with the president of the state and with members of Knesset from the coalition and the opposition, we made them conscious of our financial evaluation and the heavy concern of financial deterioration within the nation because of continuation of the development of the authorized reform within the type and the best way that this has been achieved to this point.”

“Mass layoffs”
