The deputy was allowed to promote the bill profitable to him and his family

The permission was given, despite the fact that the deputy himself has a quota for the sale of eggs, and his cousin Avi Gueta controls a significant part of the market. The father of the deputy Shimon Gueta, recently re-elected to the post of chairman of the regional council Maale-Yosef, and one of his brothers also own quotas for the sale of eggs, notes The Marker.

It should be noted that at the moment, the poultry industry is completely regulated by the state, but this regulation should be canceled in 2032.

The ethics commission ruled that Gueta could not vote for the bill when it will be considered in the Knesset economic commission, but this restriction does not apply to any other stages of promoting the bill.

The commission ruled that although there is a conflict of interests, in this case it is allowed, since the rules of the ethics commission directly exclude “issues relating to the economic industry to which the member of the Knesset belongs.”
