The opposition claims that at least NIS 7 million were transferred to projects of unclear necessity before the Knesset Finance Committee approved the funds, in violation of the law, according to N12 political correspondent Dafna Liel. The allegation comes as the Knesset is expected to dissolve for elections, and the opposition has been scrutinizing last-minute budget moves.
The Zioneer has reported on other recent budget transfers before the Knesset dispersal, including a NIS 31 million allocation to the Haredi development authority that was also requested without full committee approval. The opposition has also filed thousands of reservations to coalition bills in a bid to delay proceedings.
The specific projects involved and the officials who authorized the transfer remain unidentified. The opposition's claim is an allegation that has not been independently verified.
