The Minister of Strategic Affairs, Orit Farkash HaCohen, referred tonight (Friday) to the coalition crisis surrounding the transfer of the budget, and said that Blue and White should consider dissolving the coalition with the Likud.

"When I supported entering the government after three elections, when we are in such a deep health and economic crisis, I saw before my eyes the unity government of 1984, formed during the severe inflation crisis, which dizzyed and deteriorated Israel, with the Lebanon war in the background," the minister wrote on her Facebook account.

"A government formed between two sides with differences of attitude and distrust to say the least. Both sides understood that they put politics aside and deal with the crisis professionally and bravely. And so it was - professionals accompanied the steps and built a comprehensive plan called 'Stabilization Plan'. No sticks and no tricks.

"We are in the 90th minute. Politics must be put aside and a comprehensive economic and budgetary stabilization plan must be approved, and not for two months. The first - as we agreed, a route must be recalculated, "she threatened.

At the same time, a demonstration was held tonight in front of the Prime Minister's House in Caesarea, organized by the Movement for Quality of Government with the participation of hundreds of people.

The movement's chairman, Adv. Dr. Eliad Shraga, said: "If the prime minister thinks that with threats, arrests and hallucinations, he will stop the rising wave of anger, then he is seriously mistaken. The protest has just begun, the rage is just rising, the masses will continue to make their voices heard and we will continue to come here until our elected officials understand that they are working for us, and not the other way around. Corrupt, you're tired! "
