Prime Minister Yair Lapid approves a bid by Israel Petrochemical Enterprises to acquire full control of Bazan, Israel’s largest oil refinery.
He does not condition the sale on Bazan’s closure within a decade, in line with a March government decision, despite pressure to do so from Environmental Protection Minister Tamar Zandberg, lawmakers such as Alon Tal, and environmental groups.
