MKs reject state budget over defense funding
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMembers of a joint Knesset committee reject the budget proposal for 2016 on the grounds that the defense provisions are insufficient.
The proposal is rejected by 16 votes to 15, Channel 10 reports. Those opposed include members of the coalition who argue that having defense funding at the levels cited means “the IDF will be unable to defend the state.”
The lawmakers are now seeking a legal way to pass the budget, or alternatively come up with a supplement to the budget from the treasury.
