Orit Strock, the national missions and settlements minister, claims that there are ministers in the government who are struggling financially, according to a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation reported on by the Kan public broadcaster.
“No ministers receive inflated salaries, I know ministers who don’t manage to finish the month even though they work very hard, night and day — and there are even those whose parents are supporting them financially,” Strock reportedly says in the WhatsApp message in an argument with a party insider over a tax on electric vehicles.
Ministers in the government make NIS 58,274 per month; the national average salary in Israel is around 13,300.
