The Israel Dairy Board has announced it will stop supplying raw milk to processing companies, intensifying protests against the government's proposed dairy sector reforms. Some supermarkets have already started limiting milk purchases as a result. The Finance Ministry aims to dismantle the current system of quotas, fixed prices, and tariffs, arguing that increased imports will lower costs for consumers. However, farmers warn that these changes could threaten jobs and food security, and claim that prices will remain high unless action is taken against the dominant manufacturing and retail monopolies. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has warned milk producers that he may eliminate all tariffs and fully open the market if milk production is halted.
