Prof. Zelekha is President of Ono Academic College’s Higher Academic Council and Director of Accountancy Studies. From 2003 – 2007, Prof. Zelekha completed a full term as the Accountant General of the State of Israel.
Prof. Zelekha noted that Tnuva is just one example of Israeli monopolies. There are about 100 other monopolies and exclusive importers operating in the country. Zelekha praised the Israeli governments laws ensuring competition and described them as very advanced compared to those in other countries. However, he regretted the fact that the competition authority does not enforce these laws which leads to the monopolistic behavior one observes in Israeli markets.
