Lapid: Israeli society must celebrate veteran teachers

With negotiations between the Treasury and teachers still stalled over salaries of veteran teachers, Prime Minister Yair Lapid says “Israeli society must celebrate” veteran educators. “They are not a burden on the system, they are its foundations.”

In an apparent response on Twitter, Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman writes: “To those who were are not informed of the details — first of all, the [Treasury] proposal will see all teachers, both new and senior, get salary boosts.”

He adds that the ministry is “putting excellence at the center,” and teachers who work hard will get additional salary bumps.
