MK Ofir Katz (Likud) responded to a question from MK Moshe Kariv, denying that the coalition has reached an agreement with Haredi parties on additional pay for kindergarten teachers in private Haredi kindergartens. Katz said the government and legislative agenda remain unchanged.
Earlier this evening, The Zioneer reported that the coalition had accepted MK Gafni's demand to keep the salary supplement for kindergarten teachers in private Haredi kindergartens on the agenda. In response to a question from MK Moshe Kariv, MK Ofir Katz (Likud) denied that a formal agreement with the Haredim exists on the matter, stating that the government and legislative agenda have not changed. The statement appears to push back against speculation of a coalition deal, though the exact status of negotiations remains unclear.
