In spite of the government’s existing difficulties, Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman insists the finances will inevitably be passed.


As the government coalition totters on the brink of collapse, Israel’s Minister of Finance Avigdor Liberman introduced final night time that he is suspending discussions on the 2023 funds. He advised Channel 12 Information, “I spoke with the prime minister and we resolved that for the moment we are postponing the finances conversations in order to get organized. We are freezing the conversations as a responsible federal government, and we will end the summer time session and we will arrange ourselves.

Liberman spoke about the defeat that the coalition suffered in the Knesset yesterday on the passing of the very first studying of the bill to increase the minimum wage to NIS 40 for each hour. “We agreed (to postpone the budget discussions) due to the fact the vote went from the Committee for Legislative Issues. Everyone have to be liable in what they are undertaking. I am guaranteed that the finances will pass later and it will be a good price range that is not populist.”

The defeat in excess of the minimal wage expenses was just 1 of a range of defeats inflicted on the federal government coalition in the Knesset this 7 days. It began with the failure to move the regulation regulating the lawful circumstance for Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria and continued with the failure to approve Matan Kahana as Minister for Spiritual Affairs, thanks to the opposition of MK Idit Silman, the rebel Yamina MK who still left the coalition two months in the past and voted in opposition to the federal government for the initial time.
