Last-minute threats:
The sixth Netanyahu government is convening at this time (Thursday) for a decisive meeting with the aim of approving by tomorrow morning the state budget for the years 2023-2024, but significant disputes and budgets worth billions still remain undecided.
After the publication in "Israel Hayom" that officials around Education Minister Yoav Kish claimed that he "will not vote for the budget", Kish said at the entrance to the cabinet meeting: "There are still gaps and no agreements on the budget of the Ministry of Education".
Sources close to the Minister of Education revealed yesterday that Minister Yoav Kish intends to vote against the budget, after the Ministry of Education's budget published today was insufficient for him.
Sources close to Education Minister Yoav Kish said that "he currently does not intend to vote in favor of the budget, there is tremendous anger at the officials of the Ministry of Finance. The budget is not to reduce gaps but to widen gaps, he will not be able to promote anything with this budget. If the budget remains as it is - he will vote against".
This is not the only problem with the Ministry of Education's budget, the Likud's election promise was free education for ages birth to three - that is, daycare and private daycare that would be free.
This is a move whose cost is estimated in the billions, but as mentioned it does not appear in the budget and there is still no decision on the matter.
Transport Minister Miri Regev also joined the parade of the disappointed.
"Unfortunately, we still have very large gaps between us and the Treasury," said Minister Regev.
"The discussions continued until the wee hours of the night. There are gaps in the issue of infrastructure, I will not let them damage the infrastructure in the periphery, period. At the moment, the five-year budget of the NTA is low and the other issue is the handling of public transportation and traffic jams.
Incentives should be given for traveling by public transport.
There is a prime minister in the State of Israel and he will intervene.
It cannot be that the Ministry of Transportation will not be able to provide an answer to the issue of congestion.
The damage to the state's economy is NIS 40 billion a year."
