Finance Committee Chairman MK Hanoch Milivitsky on Tuesday condemned activists who protested against the budget for Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, calling them 'worse than Nukhba' — the elite Hamas unit responsible for the October 7, 2023 massacre. The remark was made as the Knesset continues its budget debate, which has seen tensions between the Finance Committee and government ministries. Milivitsky has previously reprimanded a government representative during a committee session, as reported by The Zioneer. The statement reflects the heated political climate surrounding the budget allocation for settlements.
