The Business Sector Presidency announced on Tuesday that its chairman, Dov Amitai, has been unanimously elected for a third term. The Business Sector Presidency serves as the umbrella organization for 14 economic sectors in Israel. Amitai also holds the position of chairman of the Farmers' Association of Israel.
Since the outbreak of the war, Amitai has been a senior representative for Israeli businesses in discussions with the government. He has addressed issues such as the extensive call-up of reservists, labor shortages, and the impact of the conflict on businesses in combat zones. He was also instrumental in changes to compensation frameworks for the economy during operations against Iran.
In addition to his leadership role, Amitai completed approximately 600 days of reserve duty in the north as deputy commander of a brigade, holding the rank of colonel in the reserves. The Presidency highlighted its recent activities, including establishing a national coordination headquarters for the north, signing collective agreements to protect reservists and their families, and enacting legislation for employer compensation for reservist employees.
Amitai stated that while politicians focus on their bases, the economy is where common interests converge. He emphasized that the business sector is the engine that can drive economic growth, create jobs and investments, and reconnect Israel to the global economy and regional opportunities, preventing the country from being overlooked in significant developing initiatives.
