Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon says the coalition has called early elections because “it is difficult to function right now,” adding it is the right decision to “keep financial stability.”

“We wanted elections to be held as early as possible since the faster the process is the cheaper it is for Israel,” Kahlon says.

He adds that his Kulanu party maintained its “statesmanship” which he says was “hard in this government.” He says he is “proud” that his party blocked “anti-democratic initiatives” proposed by members of other coalition parties over the last four years.

Kahlon claims Israel’s economy is in a good condition, and lists what he touts as achievements that saved money for all citizens, “from Dan [in the north] to Eilat [in the south].”
