Energy Minister Eli Cohen addressed the shutdown of Israel's desalination plants, assuring the public that the country has a robust water economy and will ensure a regular water supply to all homes nationwide. He described the current situation as an "unusual natural phenomenon" not seen in the last 20 years, which has significantly increased seawater turbidity, leading to the shutdown of most desalination facilities.

The minister's statement comes amid concerns over the impact of the turbidity on the country's water supply. The increased turbidity is caused by a natural event that has affected the seawater intake of the plants. Cohen emphasized that the government is taking steps to manage the situation and maintain water security for all citizens.
