Interestingly, Smotritch's order is to cancel the tax only until the end of 2023.

The government is expected to lose 330 million shekel in revenue from the tax cancellation this year.

I dont understand why he isnt canceling it outright, as was expected form the pre-election (and post-election too) chatter, but only holding it until the end of 2023. I guess at that point he can revisit it, but why not just cancel it outright, and if one day the government would decide to create such a tax, create it then. I am not sure if this is simply a procedural matter or if there is some sot of intention behind it. So far I have not seen it explained.
