Despite a recent surge in fuel prices to an all-time high of 8.27 shekels per liter, a decision has been finalized to reduce the cost by 50 agorot per liter for the upcoming month. This reduction follows approval from the Attorney General regarding the Finance Ministry's position that there are no objections to implementing the plan. The new price, set to take effect early next week, will bring the cost down to 7.77 shekels per liter. This measure is in addition to a previous reduction in excise tax implemented last month. The discount is slated to expire shortly after the upcoming elections, leaving drivers hopeful for further price decreases in the future.
