Gafni blasts removal of Haredi yeshivas from Section 46, targets religious Zionists, Finance Minister, tax chief

MK Moshe Gafni criticized the removal of Haredi yeshivas from Section 46, saying the 'biggest troubles' come from the religious Zionist community, the Finance Minister, and the head of the Tax Authority.

Gafni, who chairs the Knesset Finance Committee, made the remarks amid a dispute over the tax exemption for yeshiva students under Section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance. He directed his criticism at the religious Zionist camp, which is part of the governing coalition, and the Finance Ministry and Tax Authority responsible for implementing the policy. The comments reflect ongoing coalition tensions over Haredi military service and budget priorities.
