Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon says he will abide by the opinion of Deputy Attorney General Zilber, according to which Professor Yaron Zelekha cannot head the committee for handling the cost of living due to a conflict of interests.

Calling Zelekha, "one of the most suitable people to head the committee thanks to his professional experience," Kahlon added, "In a conversation with Prof. Zelekha, he informed me that he intends to appeal to the Supreme Court and I will be happy if the decision changes."
