Did the pressure affect? The Minister of Finance, Avigdor Lieberman, and the Chairman of the Labor and Welfare Committee, MK Efrat Reitan, agreed to participate in financing the expenses of the self-employed during the days of isolation. This is an addition to the layout of the isolation days for the self-employed by increasing the daily rate given for an isolation day to NIS 570, an increase of 33% to the original amount of NIS 430 based on the tariff set in the Wall Guard operation.

The announcement was made to the media about two hours before the opening of the debates in the Knesset Labor and Welfare Committee on the issue of an isolation days bill for the self-employed. The committee is expected to prepare the bill for a second and third reading in the Knesset in the coming days.

Another interesting detail in the announcement is that the replacement was involved by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid. Whether this is a case or a new political axis within the government, days will tell.

In any case, the decision will be approved by the Labor and Welfare Committee and its cost is estimated at NIS 50 million.
