Israel’s Attorney General has approved Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s plan to reduce the fuel tax, resulting in lower gasoline prices for consumers. Once Smotrich formally signs the order, the price per liter is expected to decrease to NIS 7.75. The decision follows recent speculation that the tax cut might be blocked due to concerns it could be perceived as an attempt to influence voters ahead of upcoming elections. This move aims to provide economic relief to citizens amid rising living costs. The approval comes as a win for Smotrich, who has advocated for lowering the tax to alleviate the financial burden on Israelis. Details of the implementation timeline are expected to be released shortly. This change is poised to impact drivers across the country.
