Gadiv Plant Operations Halted Following Benzene Emissions
Following repeated benzene leaks in Haifa Bay, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has ordered a total suspension of maintenance and renovation work at the Gadiv plant. The directive will remain in effect until a thorough investigation into the causes of the recent emissions is completed. This decision follows intense pressure from Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav, who demanded immediate action to protect public health. The move comes after a series of concerning incidents, including the most recent leak on October 22nd.
