In spite of the government’s latest difficulties, Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman insists the budget will eventually be passed.


As the government coalition totters on the brink of collapse, Israel’s Minister of Finance Avigdor Liberman introduced final evening that he is suspending conversations on the 2023 budget. He told Channel 12 Information, “I spoke with the key minister and we determined that for the second we are postponing the price range conversations in order to get organized. We are freezing the discussions as a responsible government, and we will finish the summer session and we will organize ourselves.

Liberman spoke about the defeat that the coalition suffered in the Knesset yesterday on the passing of the initial reading through of the monthly bill to increase the bare minimum wage to NIS 40 per hour. “We agreed (to postpone the finances discussions) for the reason that the vote went towards the Committee for Legislative Matters. All people must be responsible in what they are executing. I am positive that the finances will move later on and it will be a excellent spending plan that is not populist.”

The defeat more than the least wage costs was just one of a range of defeats inflicted on the government coalition in the Knesset this week. It commenced with the failure to move the legislation regulating the legal scenario for Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria and continued with the failure to approve Matan Kahana as Minister for Religious Affairs, thanks to the opposition of MK Idit Silman, the rebel Yamina MK who left the coalition two months back and voted towards the authorities for the initial time.
