Youngest MK says Israel ‘selling off its natural resources’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor’s former social protest leader Stav Shaffir protests the looming cuts in higher education.
She also says Israel is “selling off its natural resources” — referring to the terms for distribution of income from natural gas discoveries off-shore.
Shaffir, the youngest female MK ever at 27, worries that housing reforms, ostensibly designed to help young Israeli bread-winning couples, will be skewed to bring more income to contractors, and that eligibility criteria for affordable housing will be not be sensibly designed.
She urges cancellation of the two-year budget — a modest suggestion from a young MK, she says — looking straight at Finance Minister-elect Lapid, who smiles back. That would “save a lot of pain,” she says.
