Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interviewed tonight (Saturday) on Channel 13's Central Headquarters program, referring to the Knesset outline that is expected to last until June, and said he intends to reduce tax rates for small and medium-sized businesses: "Bread map. Now I bring in a kick-start program, I'm going to reduce tax rates for small and medium-sized businesses, and the money will come from growth."
The Prime Minister referred to the statement of the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayd, according to which he intends to invest tens of billions of dollars in Israel: "He believes in the way I lead, and there should be continuity, they certainly refer to the leadership here."

Netanyahu also said that if he chooses, he intends to appoint Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, who will end his term in two months, to a position in his next government: "I will know how to use his skills."
Netanyahu denied that there was a contract between him and his wife Sarah, according to which senior appointments go through its approval, as testified by David Artzi, the former deputy director general of IAI.
They lie to Sarah because it is impossible to drop me at the ballot box, so they produce a false narrative against me and my wife.
"This is an unequivocal lie."
On relations with the United States, he said: "I have a good relationship with President Biden, but I do not come to serve the interests of anyone else but the State of Israel.
I told Baidan that with all the appreciation and friendship between us, I must take care of the future of the Jewish state and not let the ayatollahs of Iran destroy the country.
That means I will do everything I can to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, with or without an agreement. "
