The initiative is intended to help the blind and disabled populations who “have difficulty with mobility” and “conduct their lives by phone”, a vital tool which they use to get the services of HMOs,hospitals and banks, among others.

Welfare Minister Meir Cohen said in a statement that the Ministry “attaches the utmost importance to giving assistance to the blind and the handicapped.”

“Increasing the aid paid to Bezeq is one example of a large range of services that the ministry offers to these populations in order to improve their quality of life,” Cohen added.
