"We have reached the most important moment since the formation of the government," Bennett clarified.
"This is an important time for the stability of the state. After three and a half years of chaos, mismanagement and paralysis of systems, years in which the state was a tool in personal play, years of four elections - we listened to the voice of Israeli citizens. ".
"We hear that the Israeli government is transferring the tax money to Hamas. Where did it come from? Someone in which organization received permission to enter Gaza and he met someone from Hamas but the whole incident takes place during Netanyahu's tenure as prime minister. "Bibi, this is your business model, chaos. Without the people being divided, Bibi does not exist. Netanyahu's entire existence is divided. If there is unity, there is no Bibi."
"Instead of congratulating the miracles, we received taxes," Netanyahu said before the vote in the plenum (Photo: TPS, Shalom)
After him, Netanyahu spoke, and responded to the attack. "Last night in Habima Square in Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelis, lovers of the people and the state gathered. There was an exciting moment - they waved up their lighted cell phones and sang 'We came to banish darkness.' On the eve of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, we came to banish darkness," he said. "Instead of being able to congratulate on the miracles, we get in this budget on the taxes. It has tough cuts."
"The false government always does the exact opposite of what it promised. Do you remember Bennett's Singapore plan? Another promise that began with a loud shout and died with a weak response. Bennett promised that the government would lower taxes, luckily there is no tax on Bennett's promises, otherwise the Israeli economy "It would collapse for generations. Taxes and decrees against the weaker sections, the ultra-Orthodox society, the periphery. There is opacity here that has no national logic."
Netanyahu joked: "Who does benefit from this budget? The rich. The tax on disposables and sugary drinks does not move them. Everything goes up, except for Bennett's mandates. Lapid went out to jihad against the coalition funds. In practice, you doubled the coalition funds. Lapid also attacked the law. Norwegian and today brought with Bennett a world record in the number of Norwegian MKs.
With Bennett and Lapid, everything is a pose.
Bennett lied to the public, lied to his constituents, lied to all Israeli citizens. "
Will he register an achievement as Minister of Finance?

Earlier, the finance minister and the deputy prime minister also spoke.
"The State of Israel is finally becoming a normal state, a state with a budget," Lieberman said in the plenum.
"But the question is why do we reach the budget after three and a half years? It was against the interest of the Israeli economy, and severe damage to the Israeli economy. All because of the personal interest of one man who was willing to sacrifice the Israeli economy for his own benefit. He was in government. "
Lapid stated that "tonight the state is no longer waiting. It is returning to its rightful place. The place where it works for the citizens, is not for them. This budget is a joint victory. It's okay for you to vote against, your right, but it is a common victory. "On the political conflict, on the discourse of hatred."
Marathon of votes after a marathon of heated debates.

The deadline for budget approval is November 14th. If the budget is not approved by this date - which will mark 145 days for the formation of the government - the Knesset will dissolve and Israel will go to the polls. The coalition started voting earlier than expected to prepare for the possibility that the budget will not pass in the next ballot. In addition, the approval of the budget requires a simple majority of Knesset members, and in a situation of a draw like 60 supporters in front of a similar number of opponents, the budget will not pass.
The state budget for calculating the expenditure limit is NIS 432 billion for 2021, and NIS 452 billion for 2022. However, another NIS 10 billion was added for 2022 for dealing with the corona. On the way to approving the current budget, coalition funds amounting to NIS 2.2 billion were agreed for the two budget years (880 million for 2021, and 1.22 billion for 2022), a decision that drew harsh criticism from the coalition that previously opposed the phenomenon. In addition, a pool of NIS 150 million was agreed upon to finance bills that will be submitted. In return, a horizontal cut of 1% was agreed in all government ministries.
