Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu assails the state budget after it was approved by the cabinet.
“I’ve never seen a budget so bad and full of economic cuts, tax and price increases,” Netanyahu says during a Likud faction meeting.
“Why do Israeli citizens need to pay the price so the government can pay NIS 53 billion to MK Mansour Abbas,” he adds, referring to the head of the coalition’s Ra’am party, an Islamist party.
