During a Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, MK Yinon Azoulai (Shas) presented protocols showing that opposition parties also approved budget transfers to the Haredi sector during the Change Government era, a week before elections, countering their accusations of 'election bribery' against the coalition, according to reports.
During a Knesset Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, MK Yinon Azoulai (Shas) produced protocols showing that the opposition parties approved budget transfers to the Haredi sector during the Change Government period, a week before elections. The revelation came after opposition members criticized the committee's meeting during the current election campaign and accused the coalition of 'election bribery' for allocating funds to the Haredi public. Azoulai's move effectively turned the accusation back on the opposition, arguing that the same practice was carried out under the previous government. The exchange underscores the intensifying political battle over budget allocations in the run-up to the election.
