When it comes from Israel, it's safe to assume fake news for any and all published news items (IINM someone 'round here once said something about them being the originators of fake news before fake news was a thing).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

LY just unveilled the lastest proposal from the Ministry of Finance.

 Finance Ministry latest bail out proposal:
$250m loan guarantees, and $150m public issuance with the State of Israel commits to buy the remainder of shares that the public won't want to buy.

In exchange LY and unions must agree on all the streamlining measures previously discussed

The details are going to change but the mindset is crystal clear, Israel is going to keep Elal flying.

For what it's worth, in the latest proposal whatever stock the government buys goes to a trustee to be sold when reaches predetermined value

Agreed.
As much as I would have enjoyed watching them go bankrupt, I'm happy I won't see my matmid points go to waste  ::)

Current news stories circulating say that they are close to a deal where the government will provide a bailout, and in exchange will demand streamlining operations and take a (controlling) stake to be held in trust and sold once it can be sold for a profit.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Isn't that what was discussed above?
The controlling stake is just in case the public doesn't want to take part of the equity issuance (which is likely).
Question is which is the worst - LY current poor management or government control?

It seems to include laying off 2000 workers. With ELAL's union history, this is going to be fun
