A tweet battle took place today (Sunday) on Twitter between Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli.
The debate began after MK Naama Lazimi (Labor) issued a tweet in support of the Finance Committee's decision not to approve tax benefits for the organization "Up to Here", until an end to the Tax Authority's examination of alleged criminal activity by the association. Michaeli shared her party member's tweet and wrote: " And we just started. "Minister Shaked responded and tweeted:" And you're done.
"After the inspection by the tax authority, the issue will be discussed again in the Finance Committee and 'up to here' will be approved."
The opposition rushed into the intra-coalition debate.
A statement from the Likud said that the Finance Committee's decision was "shameful" and that "so far" is an organization that fights for the truth of Israel in the world and is entitled to government support and assistance so that it can continue to work for IDF fighters.
We will fight this bad decision and work to undo it. "The chairman of the Likud faction, MK Yariv Levin, commented on the tweet battle between Shaked and Michaeli on Facebook and wrote:" Minister Shaked - tonight did you finally understand that you are in a left-wing government?
You can change that.
Overthrow this evil government, and form a real right-wing government with us. "

Some of the allegations against the organization are that its members circulated alleged incriminating documents against two left-wing activists, who were suspected of being forged by the police and the court.
MK Lazimi thanked committee chairman Alex Kushnir, who approved her request, adding that "a body that pursues peace and human rights activists, in criminal and dubious acts, with anonymous donors, should not receive state funds through tax benefits."
The "Up to Here" organization was established in 2015, and works to define it in order to "reveal the true face of the anti-Israel organizations operating within Israel."
The organization operates by operating "plants" that it places in left-wing organizations, and its work has previously been published in various media.

The confrontation follows a government decision this morning to set up a team of ministers, with the participation of representatives of all parties, who will formulate a map of new national priority areas in the coming months. This, in view of the demand of the center-left bloc to make changes to the previous map approved in 2018 by the previous government, and extended today in the government for an additional five months.
The map of national priority areas includes a list of localities and areas whose government provides tax benefits, grants, incentives and housing assistance and employment in order to encourage settlement in them and promote planning, infrastructure and construction projects. The previous map was approved in 2018 for a period of three years.
At the beginning of the discussion, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett asked the ministers "not to climb trees now" because of the various political positions and to approve the extension of the previous map, of the previous government, until a new map is formulated.
Despite this, the ministers of Yesh Atid, the Labor Party and Meretz raised their opposition to the current map, which was formulated by the previous right-wing government and includes many settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Meretz Minister Tamar Zandberg said that the current map is "unequal and discriminates against the Arab localities," adding that it should be amended in light of a petition to the High Court on the subject.
