Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFinance Minister Israel Katz aggressively dismissed Economy Minister Amir Peretz after the latter objected to the former office’s coronavirus aid package to businesses that was approved by ministers during today’s cabinet meeting.
“There is no alternative finance minister. I decide what the policy is,” Katz snapped at Peretz in remarks that appear to have been purposefully leaked to Channel 12.
