As mentioned, the chairman of the Economics Committee, MK Michael Bitton, opened the meeting, which dealt with assistance to small businesses.

The government has taken action and announced a series of measures, some of which are welcome and good. There are things we dispute," On salary she should reach the most vulnerable.
It skipped the minimum wage earners.
We also did not see any reference to business in this program. "
Afterwards, the director general of the ballroom association, Aviram Alon, said: "The state actually closed the ballrooms when it recommended not to gather.
In February, a hall owner canceled 17 events.

Later, MK Yaakov Asher turned to Minister Lieberman and shouted: "Eight months the independents are waiting for you to answer them, this morning you convened the economic cabinet for the first time and what is the good news - that students will study 20 hours instead of 40?
Is this what interests the restaurateur or the owner of the hall?
Then you ask why the decrees are 'anti-Semitic'.
This is how they used to work, to divert the fire to another place, so that they will not notice your failure.
Me and my kids are the coals, and you are scattering a smokescreen of horror and fear. "
MK Moshe Abutbul added: "If who is not the Minister of Finance?
He quarrels with the farmers, with the guides, with everyone.
He tells people to change jobs - you replace work.
You see everyone's tears - wake up!
What happened to you?.
It has nothing to do with the ultra-Orthodox, do not try to push us diversion plans.
"I'm talking now about the poor self-employed, who have nothing to bring home while you go to upscale restaurants, a little modesty."

To conclude he stung: "At least when you use a disposable in the office do not use two cups, it already exhibits pigs."
When he was called, he said: "He is not immune from anyone (Minister of Finance, SG), Bibi you knew how to say everything, here too you will say, you will not shut us up. He is a swindler and deceiver. Hatred and murder towards the people will not pass quietly "You are a shame and a disgrace."
At this point, the committee chairman took him out of the hall and said: "Until now it has been a respectable debate, I do not want to take out any more MKs.
Save the inconvenience. "
MK Galit Distel-Atbrian also said: "You are collapsing the economy, I do not know what will happen to the business in two months.
I read your decrees: denial of funding for daycare centers and dormitories for those who do not work, ie ultra-Orthodox.
Elimination of property tax rebates for families who do not work, ie ultra-Orthodox.
Mr. Minister of Finance - you are antisemitic. "In response, one of those present said:" Too bad for this end, "in response, the MK said:" Too bad for the truth. "

Anyone who needed help, like the aviation industry, we reached an agreement with.
We are not going to abandon anyone, anyone who needs help will get help.
We enlarged the cake, look at what was in 2019 and compare it to 2021.
"Thanks to the same end-to-end change of previous government policy, we have reached this point."
