Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Monday evening with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Netanyahu criticized the conduct of Otzma Yehudit party members and the boycott in the Knesset.

"There is no possibility of adding one more shekel," Netanyahu said. The state budget stands at NIS 484 billion for 2023 and NIS 514 billion for 2024. On Tuesday evening, just before voting begins, the prime minister, finance minister, opposition leader and finance committee chairman will each speak for 10 minutes.
