Ministry Of Environmental Protection

According to a report by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, pollutant emissions in Israel declined in 2025. The primary drivers were reduced coal usage at power plants and a decrease in industrial activity due to the ongoing war.

The Cleanliness Fund under the Ministry of Environmental Protection is facing a 4 billion shekel deficit. The ministry has stopped publishing financial reports, and commitments have exceeded the fund's revenues for the past 8 years.

The power struggle between the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Finance has led to the blocking of tenders for new waste treatment facilities. Israel continues to landfill 80% of its waste, nearly double the OECD average.
