Netanyahu hails the Knesset passage of the gas deal.
“We improved the outline, we passed it in the Knesset, and we passed it today with an overwhelming majority in the Knesset,” he says. “There is another obstacle, but when I want to achieve something, I get it.”
“I want this for the citizens of Israel, to lower the cost of living, to stream huge amounts of money into the state treasury,” he adds.
“Now there is one more obstacle, and we will overcome it because this is the right thing for the citizens of Israel,” he says, likely referring to the transfer of Deri’s ministerial powers to the cabinet.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
