Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich speaks to Israel Hayom about the state budget. He says the budget is conservative and restrained, which is critical in an inflationary environment.
He is confident that Israel will meet the deficit target of 0.9% that he set in the budget. The minister says Tel Aviv is Tel Aviv not because of Ron Huldai, but because the state hasn't invested billions in it over years in infrastructure. "We are investing over NIS 4 billion over the next few years in pest prevention"
