Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says he will sign an order to remove 40% customs tax on imported milk for three months.

The minister cites an ongoing shortage of milk.

Importers have warned that a mere three-month period is unfeasible, due to the time it would take to set up supply chains and ensure kosher certification, and it may not be worthwhile to import products for a short period.
