In addition, the discussion raised the cost of financing the Prime Minister's clothing expenses.

In addition, the coalition requests funding for the participation of the Prime Minister's wife Sara Netanyahu in conferences abroad at a cost of tens of thousands of shekels.

During the debate, Knesset members from the opposition factions shouted at the coalition representatives: "Corruption, corruption."

In response, the representatives of the coalition began to attack the representatives of the opposition factions.

The chairman of the committee, MK Moshe Gafni (Torah Judaism), responded to the calls in an attempt to lower the flames: "I ask the members of the Likud not to add to the shouts of the opposition that are coming to prevent this debate. Let's talk in an orderly manner, see what the details are and approve what needs to be approved." .

Members of the Prime Minister's Office, Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman and CEO Yossi Shelli are also present at the discussion.

"At a time when the cost of living is at its peak, interest rates are rising and the shekel is collapsing, what is important to Netanyahu is to convene an urgent discussion in the finance committee to increase his family expenses," said opposition leader MK Yair Lapid. "The citizens of Israel are collapsing under the economic burden, but what is important now is that the state You will finance the Netanyahu family's makeup and renovations."
