The Defense Minister's party holds a debate ahead of the vote on the state budget tomorrow • The meeting will open with Ganz's statement to the media


Blue and White held a faction meeting today (Wednesday) ahead of the crucial vote on the budget on the night between Thursday and Friday.

The meeting opened with a media statement by Defense Minister and Blue and White Chairman Bnei Gantz.

Minister Gantz emphasized that he "sees the transfer of the budget as a personal victory for me as well as against those who tried to prevent it from the citizens of Israel."

"We entered the previous government because we thought seven times, all Israelis are guarantors of each other and that a state budget is needed that will allow growth and deal with the corona. Instead, we received experience from former Prime Minister Netanyahu and his associates, "It was an attempt to kidnap the citizens of the country and their needs," Ganz said. 

"Now the current government is passing a budget that will allow recovery from the corona, and levers of growth. It is a victory for Israeli solidarity and a committee of responsibility of all coalition leaders - led by Finance Minister Lieberman .

"I see the transfer of the budget as a personal victory for me, a victory for blue and white and a victory for Israeli society as a whole against those who sought to prevent a budget from the citizens of Israel. Those who tried to act against the interests of Israel are now in opposition, and those who want to advance Israel .

Gantz added: "As defense minister, I state that the budget we pass will allow us to develop capabilities that are critical to the existence of the State of Israel in the face of growing challenges, especially from Iran, which continues its nuclear arms race, continues to plant its seeds of disaster in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. We will continue to act and make sure to cut off the Iranian oxygen engine for regional terrorism wherever we turn our heads.

Members of the Knesset convene in the plenum, where discussions on the budget continue continuously, ahead of the vote on the state budget.

The hearings are expected to continue until 6:30 p.m. 

At the end of the reasoning, the reservations will be summed up by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Opposition Chairman MK Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Committee Chairman MK Alex Kushnir.
