NEWS.

The head of the budget department, Shaul Meridor, who resigned this week, the accountant general Roni Hezekiah, who resigned in July, and the Minister of Finance, Israel Katz, are expected to be invited to the discussion.



The discussion will formally deal with the possibility of asking the State Comptroller, Matanyahu Engelman, for an opinion that will examine the conduct of the Treasury.

A similar discussion took place last June regarding the possibility of requesting an investigation into the submarine and vessel affair, at the end of which coalition members in the committee dropped the proposal.

"The resignation of senior officials in the Ministry of Finance raises concerns about a failed conduct due to political considerations guiding the prime minister and finance minister in the midst of an unprecedented economic crisis," said the committee's chairman, MK Ofer Shelach (Yesh Atid-Telam). The public must be held accountable for what goes on behind the scenes during the preparation of the most important budget in Israel for many years. "The



head of the budget department, Meridor, informed Minister Katz of his resignation in a scathing letter on Tuesday (in recent months, especially in recent weeks). It is possible, "he wrote." Unfortunately, you do not allow me and many other public servants in the various divisions of the Ministry of Finance and other government ministries to do what we know how to do. "

"The Minister of Finance and senior officials of the ministry are accountable to the public."

He added that "decision-making processes these days are characterized by decision-making influenced by narrow, short-term interests, along with the silence of the professional echelon, blatant disregard for professional staff work, pulling from the waist, trampling on tools and budgetary rules."



Meridor also accused the minister of lacking backing for the professional echelon that suffered from blatant personal attacks, and also of "attempts to change budget estimates in order to produce fictitious sources for the purpose of allocating additional budgets."

The Minister of Finance responded to the remarks in an interview on Net B and denied the allegations arising from Meridor's letter.

"His entire letter is nonsense. There is no problem with the activities of the Ministry of Finance," Katz claimed.

The minister added that Meridor, the son of former Likud minister Dan Meridor, "returned to the family roots of hostility and hatred towards Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Likud."
