Haim Katz

Katz and other senior IAI officials are likely to be indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, breach of trust and forceful extortion.

MK Itzik Shmuli (Zionist Union) welcomed the cancellation of the long-standing agreement and strongly condemned the government’s waste of the NII’s surplus funds.

In February, the police made similar recommendations against Katz for corruption allegations relating to his union work at Israel Aerospace Industries.

We Code aims to recruit young people from diverse populations – Arab-Israelis, Ethiopians, people with disabilities, ultra-Orthodox- as well as from the social periphery aged 25-30.

During his time the chairman, Katz used thousands of shekels worth of IAI resources and workers for his own personal uses.

Katz’s name was tied to two sub-cases in the general corruption probe concerning Israel’s largest state-owned aviation manufacturer.

Labor and Social Services Minister Haim Katz attended the discussion, along with Avi Nissenkoren, head of the Histadrut, to present legislation that would cement increases in disability allotments.

People with disabilities receive an allotment of some NIS 2,343 per month - while the minimum wage stands at NIS 5,300.

Video footage of abuse of elderly residents, some in their 90s, at two nursing homes in Petah Tikvah and in Rehovot, was released by police.

Currently, people with severe disabilities receive an allotment of NIS 2,343 per month – less than half the minimum wage.
