During a Knesset Finance Committee session on 2026 budget transfers, opposition MK Naor Shiri noted the lack of discussion on the budget for the north. Chairman Hanoch Milivitsky responded that there was a mistake, he discovered it, and sent a letter, according to reports from the committee.
During a Tuesday session of the Knesset Finance Committee on 2026 budget transfers, opposition MK Naor Shiri (Yesh Atid) raised the absence of a discussion on the budget for the north. Chairman Hanoch Milivitsky (Likud) acknowledged an error, saying: 'There was a mistake, obviously I discovered it, I sent a letter.' The exchange was reported from the committee.
The Finance Committee has been a site of repeated tensions over budget oversight in recent weeks, with previous confrontations between Milivitsky and other MKs, including a heated exchange with MK Naama Lazimi in late July (The Zioneer reported). The latest incident underscores ongoing friction within the coalition and opposition over the 2026 budget allocations.
The details of the letter Milivitsky referred to were not disclosed during the session. It remains unclear whether a separate discussion on the north budget will be scheduled.
