After nearly four years as Israel's Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev is leaving the ministry in a state of paralysis that is causing damage to the economy and harming citizens. The ministry has reportedly failed to conduct in-depth discussions on projects, make decisions, or consult with professionals. This inaction has led to significant issues across various sectors, including light rail and metro projects lacking economic assessments, safety concerns plaguing Israel Railways, neglect of the secondary airport, and stalled maritime ports. Furthermore, the Infrastructure Administration is reportedly devoid of any engineers.
One source described the situation as "The ministry is not in crisis, it has already collapsed." The ministry is considered critical for Israel's economic growth, citizens' daily lives, and their safety, yet it has been steered on a "collision course" in air, sea, and land transportation.
