Liberman: Netanyahu 'Shooting the State in the Foot'

Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman on Monday night blasted Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, after Netanyahu agreed to transfer a budget supplement of 900 million shekels to the Arab municipalities, who threatened not to start the new school year, which begins Tuesday, on schedule due to budget shortfalls.

Earlier, Netanyahu convened a discussion with the participation of Prime Minister's Office Director General Eli Groner and members of the Arab Joint List, in which an agreement was reached on an outline that includes moving forward – within 30 days – on a multi-year plan on economic integration and reducing gaps by enacting structural changes.
