Netanyahu: "This is a day in a row"

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with Finance Minister Israel Katz and National Insurance Director General Meir Spiegler at the beginning of the transfer of a "grant to every citizen" to the eligible bank accounts. Netanyahu: "Today is a day in a row. As we promised, another forty thousand businesses today received an additional pulse of help and also 99.57% of the children of Israel, who are three million children in 1,250,000 families. We promised and kept bringing the grants to children, families and businesses quickly. There will be more plans. This is big news! "

Finance Minister Israel Katz said:" We promised that this time it would happen quickly, and today the money for three million children went into the bank account. We promised that this time it would happen quickly, and over forty thousand small self-employed received the money today. "It will go on and on - the Social Security will pass on to more and more parents, adults, recipients of benefits, discharged male and female soldiers and to everyone who we have decided all the money and double the benefits." 

National Insurance Director General Meir Spiegler: "First of all, as the Prime Minister pointed out, all the children in the State of Israel, in the full sense of the word - their parents, received the money this morning. In fact, the money was already transferred on Friday and went into the banks this morning, in terms of the identity of the money. During the week we will distribute the balance of the grants to all residents of the State of Israel: those who receive a double grant and those who will receive the basic grant. We do everything we can to ensure that the grants are transferred to the accounts of all those eligible by the end of this week, at most - the beginning of next week. Those who do not have their bank accounts - we will transfer the money they deserve to the post office bank, they will be required to get there, identify themselves, and receive the money in cash. There will not be one who does not receive the grant he deserves. "
