A senior official in the Finance Ministry has warned President Isaac Herzog of the need to urgently secure agreements on the future of the judicial overhaul, Channel 12 reports.
Accountant General Yali Rothenberg met with Herzog today and stressed to him the need for long-term certainty.
“The very passage of time with [enduring] uncertainty could raise the risk level for [investment in] Israel and increase pressure on the capital market. The consequences for the economy could be significant,” Rothenberg was quoted as saying.
