A review has found that milk imports to Israel, recently approved by the finance minister, will not arrive in time to address the expected shortage during the upcoming Jewish High Holidays. Dairy production typically halts for nine days during this period due to kosher requirements, leading to empty shelves. Despite a new order allowing customs-free milk imports for six months, importers say it will take at least two months for shipments to arrive, missing the holiday window. The Israel Dairy Board and dairy farmers oppose the broad import order, arguing it does not specifically address the holiday shortage and could harm local producers.
