Idit Silman, Minister of Environmental Protection: "Even these days we face environmental challenges. The Ministry of Environmental Protection continues to help the economy deal with the challenges of the environmental war in the fields of energy, waste, industry and more. We will continue to promote the issue of climate and lead Israel's preparation for climate change through, among other things, Government ministries and local government." (ANI/TPS)
