Getting close to a decision? The Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich announced that he will cut short his visit to the USA and will return to Israel this evening. The Minister canceled his trip to Panama at a conference with the participation of South American finance ministers in which he was supposed to participate and announced that he will return to Israel in order to participate and accompany the process of legislation and negotiations on the legal reform.
The shortening of Smotrich’s visit comes amid growing reports that the president is expected to publish his compromise outline for the legal reform within the next day. The chairman of religious Zionism is interested in being a full partner in what appears to be the decisive stages of reaching an agreement on legal reform.
It will be mentioned that in a meeting held last night with the senior management of one of the US banks, the Minister of Finance calmed down and said: There will be an agreed upon outline that everyone will know how to live with, or at least the mainstream.” The Minister of Finance clarified: “We will know how to calm the political noises in the near future.”
Meanwhile, it was reported today that Prime Minister Netanyahu also cut short his visit to Berlin. As of this time, the reason for the shortening of the visit to which the Prime Minister took off today is not clear, when initially it was reported that the political visit was cut short due to the sensitive security situation in the north, but another hypothesis arose that, like Smotrich, the visit was cut short following the crucial steps in the passage of the legal reform and the publication of the President’s outline.
