Jerusalem was burning waste long before today’s government 'revolution'

The article says the current government’s talk of a revolution in waste treatment should be viewed against a much older reality in Jerusalem, where waste was already being burned about 100 years ago. It frames the issue as part of a broader look back at how the city handled garbage long before today’s policy debate.

No specific officials, dates, or new policy steps are detailed in the text beyond that historical comparison. The piece’s headline contrasts present-day claims of change with Jerusalem’s century-old practice of burning waste, suggesting the problem is not new and that the promised overhaul is still only being discussed.
