Coalition releases basic principles of new government
The new coalition has released a document detailing the so-called basic principles of Israel’s 35th government. Among them:
— Formation of an emergency coronavirus cabinet which will oversee all aspects of the response to the pandemic.
— Building an extensive economic plan to lead Israel out of the economic crisis brought on by the virus.
— Deploying a “socio-economic safety net” for Israeli citizens, including specific plans for needy sectors of the population.
— Working towards national reconciliation after three bruising election campaigns that saw the partisan divide in the country rise to new levels. A “reconciliation cabinet” will be formed to lead this effort.
