MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) praised the High Court's decision to freeze budget transfers, calling it an 'important achievement against the attempt to establish facts on the ground and turn the budget into a political tool,' according to journalist Yuval Shadai.
MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) on Wednesday welcomed the High Court's decision to delay budget transfers approved by the Knesset Finance Committee, describing the ruling as an 'important achievement' against the coalition's effort to use the budget for political purposes. The decision, by Justice Alex Stein, had ordered the committee to update the court on its actions, as The Zioneer previously reported. The budget transfer debate remains a central flashpoint between the coalition and the opposition, with MK Lazimi's statement reflecting the opposition's stance that the transfers amount to political manipulation.
