Netanyahu to heads of authorities from the surrounding area: determined to restore the kibbutzim
A special meeting is being held today (Sunday) between the heads of the authorities in Otef, the professional ranks in the government ministries and the Takuma Administration together with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
This, after a previous meeting between the heads of the authorities and government officials blew up at the last minute.
The heads of the heads of state claim that the treasury wants to "cut all grants by 75%", while other sources accuse the authorities of "trying to make a turn here and political extortion".
Sources privy to the details criticized the "puzzling request", as they say, of the heads of the authorities to hold a meeting with Finance Minister Smotrich.
This, despite the fact that the entire outline was written and approved with the cooperation of the senior professional ranks in the Treasury - and the approval of the outline will soon reach the final stages of approval by the Prime Minister.

On the other hand, the heads of the surrounding authorities refuse to align themselves with the proposed outline and accuse the government ministries of wanting to significantly cut the agreements.
"The treasury wants to cut all grants back by 75%," said a senior official in the Otef authorities, "we won't give it to them, it won't go on the agenda."
"The outline that was closed already provides a broad solution to all the problems raised by heads of authorities," criticized a source familiar with the negotiations on the meeting with the minister, "the meeting with the Minister of Finance is after the professional level in the Ministry of Finance and the Takuma administration have arrived at the correct outline. It is a shame that now there are attempts to spin and political extortion from the heads of the authorities to the Minister of Finance".

Last Thursday, moments before an outline was agreed upon, the meeting between the heads of state and the professional bodies in the Prime Minister's Office, the Takuma Administration and the Treasury was distributed.
On the agenda was the duration of the increased grants even after returning to their homes, along with all the related benefits that the evacuees would receive.
