Chairman Yoel Hasson of the Knesset's State Control Committee has summoned Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau to a special emergency meeting of the committee on Tuesday with State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss to discuss the report released on Wednesday in which Lindenstrauss said that steep upcoming water hikes will hurt the weaker sectors and were not set in a professional manner.
Lindenstrauss also recommended that the hikes be suspended pending a professional review. In welcoming the committee session, he said it was unthinkable that the state not accept his recommendations and decisions of Knesset committees.
