Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman said today (Monday) that despite the disagreements, the coalition must reach agreements on the Arrangements Law before the budget is approved. "The Arrangements Law is an integral part of the budget," Lieberman said in a briefing on the state budget. He further said that he believes that the Ministry of Finance will reach agreements with the farmers on the reform of agriculture, and that he is pleasantly surprised by the functioning of the coalition so far.
"I hear talk that there is no connection and you can vote on the budget and oppose the Arrangements Law - it's a flower, it's one whole, and first of all you vote on the Arrangements Law and only then on the budget, because the Arrangements Law is the budgetary source of the budget," Lieberman said. "It is impossible to separate the Arrangements Law from the budget. Those who fail the Arrangements Law leave the budget without a budget source. We will try to convince the public and also the MKs that there is nothing more right or just than the budget."
The finance minister said he thought there would be a majority of coalition MKs who would support both the arrangements law and the budget. "There will always be dramas and crises until the last minute. To this day, we have passed almost everything we wanted to pass in the Knesset.
"For 3.5 years there have been no budget discussions on reforms, structural changes, we should bring the same arrangements."

However, Lieberman admitted that "the law of arrangements is oil, but there is nothing to do - after three and a half years difficult decisions have to be made. Some are dissatisfied with the regulation and some are dissatisfied with retirement age for women or pensions for permanent employees such ideological gaps. therefore, it is a good budget and pay and at the end everyone will understand that there is no choice but to get it together. today I will meet with the coalition leadership and tomorrow with leaders of political parties, believing the night before found a compromise with all the ingredients and MKs. "
" budget "The state for 2021 will be about NIS 432 billion and for 2022 - NIS 452.5 billion," said Lieberman. The whole green and purple note theme works beautifully. The Israeli economy has learned to live and work alongside the corona. "
According to the Minister of Finance, "This is the most social budget in the history of the country. It has additions to the health budget regardless of the corona budgets, including the construction of two new hospitals in the north and south. An additional billion for the Ministry of Education, a billion for the Ministry of Public Health, all the additions in the other ministries is a budget that is all social. "

Lieberman added that the budget will also include "an additional NIS 1 billion for the elderly who need income support, and similar additions for the disabled and IDF disabled," as well as the cabinet's decision on a NIS 5 billion protection plan for the next decade. On public housing, "he said.
On the internal opposition in the coalition to reform agriculture, he said he hoped the Ministry of Finance would be able to reach an agreement with the farmers and with some of the MKs who expressed opposition. "All the reform in agriculture is an increase in budgets for Israeli agriculture," he said. "To approve import or lower customs I do not need a reform or a Knesset or a government, but the signature of the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Finance. I think we will reach an agreement with the farmers, I do not know about all the MKs. We could have reached an agreement with them a long time ago if not for some MKs who took it as a flag. "
According to the Minister of Finance, "Today there are 7,000 active farmers, and an average age of 66. Agriculture has ceased to be attractive to young people because there is no innovation or profits and it must change. It is impossible to compete in the Third World because wages are lower Socialists, therefore, must turn agriculture into a start-up nation. "
He added that "the reform in agriculture is first and foremost in favor of agriculture. Some people are taking advantage of it. The structure is from the Mapai era, and it should move to innovation."
On Isrotel's profits, the finance minister said he expects the company to return the grants to the state. "Profit-making companies and dividend distributors are getting aid from the state," he said. "This thing will be addressed, it's unlikely.
We expect the company to return the grants to the state. "

Lieberman said that although there are likely to be businesses affected by the corona, the economy itself is growing. "I guess there are businesses that have been affected, we are sensitive and attentive. This week I will also meet with CEOs and businessmen," he said. "In every objective parameter. I do not see anyone in a massive damage to the economy as a result of the green label." "To say that business is collapsing is a bit excessive," he said.
On housing prices, the finance minister said he expects an 8 percent rise in prices by the end of the year, and that the government is working on a plan to lower prices. "We need a comprehensive plan and not a partach. I have met several times with the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Housing, we are working together to formulate a plan to lower housing prices and assume that after the holidays we will publish a comprehensive plan on the subject," he said.
Regarding budgets for Arab society, Lieberman said that "the one who invented the Abbas tax was Benjamin Netanyahu. To stop confusing the mind, he invited him four times to Balfour," he said.
"What is happening in the sector, the violent rampage is affecting not only the Arab sector but everyone, it is impossible to leave it like that. That is why we must invest in education, employment and homeland security, regardless of political opinion."

On the criticism leveled at the IDF pension arrangement, Lieberman said that "the pension was a hot potato that no one wanted to touch, glad we made an order.
Do not think it will have far-reaching implications for the economy.
We want the army to be a quality army, with a relative advantage.
"There is competition with the private market, salaries in the regular army do not compete in the private market, not only in 8200, also a battalion commander in Givati and Golani has more attractive offers in the private market, without the risks and hours of operation of the army. .
On the possibility of postponing the opening of the school year, Lieberman said he supports opening at the scheduled time. "We all agree that Corona is not something that will stop the next day or next month, but will probably accompany us for a few bad years. This routine will continue so we must learn to live alongside Corona and continue to function. "In the overall summary, opening at this time is a much better alternative than postponing the start of the school year, with all the risks," he said.
On the meeting held tonight in Ramallah, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen said that "as long as there is no budgetary connection to the meeting between Gantz and Abu Mazen - it is less interesting. Economic stability of the Palestinian Authority is an Israeli security interest. At the economic level, we are doing everything to maintain the economic stability of the PA. "
On the issue of policy towards Gaza, Lieberman said that in the current government there is a change in relation to the previous government.
"This government does not agree to transfer money to Hamas in cash. This is crazy. We are also reacting to the issue of balloons in painful places for Hamas and there is a change in policy, there is a different approach," he said.
On the verdict of the former MK of Yisrael Beiteinu, Faina Kirschenbaum, he said that for him the verdict given to her was disproportionate.
Anyone who has read the entire case and all the evidence does not ask such a question.
Anyone who reads the entire case will not be able to understand this verdict and sentence, 10 years.
"There is something out there that is screaming in terms of disproportion," he said.
