Lapid slams move to raise number of ministers
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid criticizes the expansion of the government, calling it “robbery of the public coffers in broad daylight,” according to Israel Radio. Lapid says increasing the number of ministers would cost “hundreds of millions for totally redundant [ministerial] positions.” The money, Lapid says, should be invested in education, health and welfare.
Lapid’s colleague in Yesh Atid, MK Yaakov Peri, meanwhile, says the party will be a “focused” opposition. “If the government enacts policies which we support, we will give it backing,” says Peri.
