Transportation Minister Miri Regev has unveiled a new 2026 traffic enforcement plan that includes expanded police patrols, and fines of up to 10,000 shekels for serious violations. The government says tougher enforcement is needed as road deaths continue to rise. KAN’s Sarahlee Tschernia spoke with Yaniv Yaakov, CEO of Or Yarok, to discuss whether this approach will make Israel’s roads safer.
