Barkat demands that a bill be submitted to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation that would allow the imposition of fines on those who significantly and exceptionally increase prices during this period.
Vala learned that Finance Minister BezalelSmotrich is trying to torpedo Barkat's proposal and is delaying putting it to a government vote. Around Barkat they say that this is a necessary law against the "pigs" of the big food companies who raise prices during a war.
