Dairy farmers announced they will not supply milk from their farms to distributors, who are the ones that deliver the milk to stores, in protest against the milk reform led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The reform is intended to end dependence on local producers and open up the market. Tali Medina, manager of Kibbutz Orim's dairy farm, said in a conversation with Ynet studio that "if there is a shortage on the shelves, it will never be related to dairy farmers, except for now, because we are at such a level of frustration and anger over this reform. We are not people of wars and now they are really pushing us to the edge, and we want to stop the marketing of milk."
