Likud MK to launch hunger strike until rolling tobacco tax raised

Likud MK Yehudah Glick threatens to launch a hunger strike beginning tomorrow, until rolling tobacco is taxed as much as cigarettes.

Glick accuses Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon of holding up the tax.

“Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon is taking our children hostage for political calculations,” Glick says from the Knesset podium, according to the Walla news site.
