The heated discussion on the budget and coalition funds took center stage in the government during a break in the cabinet meeting, as Prime Minister Netanyahu left to hold discussions with Russian President Putin. Minister Struck took the opportunity to address Minister Gideon Sa’ar, denouncing the campaign against her ministry.
Minister Struck used a striking analogy to illustrate her point, comparing the campaign against her office to a ship in distress. “The campaign that is being made against my office is like, for example, a ship that went to sink and the consensus among the ship’s passengers was that they would throw away the Jew’s tefillin bag even though it did not affect the weight of the ship,” she stated.
She elaborated on the critical funding needs of her office, which includes support for Jewish identity and settlement matters, the fight in Area C, Jewish culture, security components for the young settlement in the Yosh, pre-military training courses, and national service. Minister Sa’ar countered by stating that his comments were not specifically targeting her office, but rather a general call for every shekel to be scrutinized before allocation.
Adding to the tension, Minister Sa’ar alleged that the campaign against him was aimed at forcing his resignation from the government. The intense exchange shed light on the complexities of budget allocation and the internal dynamics of the coalition government. As the discussion continues, the decisions made will have a lasting impact on the allocation of vital funds for various government initiatives.
