(IsraelNN.com) At a meeting of the Caesarea Forum in Jerusalem, former Finance Minister Silvan Shalom stated that it was necessary to raise the minimum wage. “We need to develop human assets through education,” stated the MK, “because closing the gaps in education will reduce economic gaps.”
According to Shalom, the budget for such a move should come from “reducing the defense budget.” “Economic freedom cannot be achieved at the expense of the weaker sectors,” Shalom added.
