Even after the draft law of arrangements was leaked in recent days, which also includes proposals to increase the property tax and impose a congestion levy on roads, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman continues to claim that he is against the imposition of taxes or cuts.



"I am opposed to the imposition of taxes or cuts and therefore the question of where should reach additional budget or money is first of all the growth, that additional existing budget which is a function of proper investments, restructuring and of course internal efficiency of government agencies.



An outstanding example is a treasure here we closed two units, down "Infrastructure and director of vocational training, quietly passed the issue of vocational training that was a topic of struggle both here and in the government. We gave it up and everything is currently concentrated in the Ministry of Economy," said the Minister of Finance at the first briefing for economic journalists.

The property tax will increase, but he will not insist on the congestion tax

"I did not come to please anyone. My commitment is only to the Israeli economy. I am less excited by the criticism and demonstrations. We will do what is right for the Israeli economy even if it is less popular and even if we snatch such and other articles," Lieberman promised.



Lieberman shrugged off press criticism that raising property taxes and congestion taxes are taxes and said: "Taxes are what goes into the budget. Property taxes do not come to amend a budget but to facilitate building permits, get approval and not fight local government to solve housing market distress.



Local government does not want housing "They prefer industrial trading banks, so we are lowering their property taxes to balance and facilitate mainly the industry and trade and facilitate the incessant struggles with the local government."



Regarding congestion tax, Minister Lieberman hinted that he would not fight it: "Congestion tax - we did not come to replace the other ministries. If the Ministry of Transportation will promote it then we will promote it. If not we will not.



In his speech, Lieberman also referred to the abolition of the subsidy for day care for students who do not work or study professions that will bring them into the labor market.

"I'm not here to reinvent the wheel about the subject of the ultra-Orthodox and Employment heard the anguished cries of Cossack robbed.



, Previous experience regarding daycare did Netanyahu as finance minister and torch as finance minister, what we saw in the spring Employment among ultra-Orthodox men ten thousand to twenty thousand. Also related fitness test earning these things "They have proven themselves and it is a cumulative experience. It does not come to hurt them, it comes on the contrary to help them."

"There are no avocados in the supermarket at all"

Lieberman continued: "The one who harms the ultra-Orthodox sector is the Shas leadership and Torah Judaism who want to leave the entire ultra-Orthodox public without education and without a livelihood that their whole lives will depend on benefits one does not dictate to him what to vote for.



they are the most opposed to the study of the heart, that young man of 18 who never learned math, Agnel computer has no other option except overall. We do not want to hurt but to bring the ultra-orthodox poverty, we want to help the Haredi public stand on The legs are in their own right and make a decent living, "he said.



In addition, Lieberman noted that already in the forthcoming Arrangements Law he wants to "lower the age of exemption from recruitment from 24 to 21 for the ultra-Orthodox sector so that even then they can join the labor market," adding that this is a critical thing for him.



When asked why there is no reform in the Arrangements Law on the subject of agriculture that will help lower the prices of fruits and vegetables, Lieberman hinted that the issue is still under discussion with the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Today I went to the supermarket because I wanted to see what the price of the avocado is.



What is the price? There is no avocado at all. I am told it is missing and I do not think it is a reasonable answer at all. Peach costs 21 shekels per kilo. 60 shekels per kilo To do everything with consent, I am the last to be afraid of confrontation, but we must reach agreements as much as possible. "

Retirement age for women: "Trying to form an agreement"

Regarding raising the retirement age for women who have already entered the draft Arrangements Act, Lieberman said they are trying to form agreements with the relevant ministries: "We are also trying to form agreements here. This is a government with the highest female representation in government.



Retirement age should be close to life expectancy. That at the age of 62-63 are full of energy and there are those who even at the age of 59 will not be able to find work. The retirement age should be raised. I believe less in revolutions and more in evolution. In the second phase, it will increase according to life expectancy, in 2038. "




Regarding the difficulty that may arise in passing the budget, Lieberman replied: "Both the Knesset and the opposition parties have no strong desire to reach new elections. The majority does not have such a desire. Therefore, I bring a reasonable reasonable budget and believe that people will eventually do the right thing.



The most wrong thing is to drag the country to other elections and many wise men in the opposition will do everything not to get to new elections.

The former prime minister tried to lead new primaries and was not exactly enthusiastic about it.

"In both Shas and Torah Judaism, I do not recognize a strong desire to reach new elections. I believe in the logic and discretion of laws. No one guarantees a garden of roses and no budget without friction and bumps, but I believe that in November we will be a country with a budget."
