At the start of the Finance Committee's discussions this morning, Chairman of the Provisional Committee MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ) addressed the solution to the crisis in the IDF and the possibility of across-the-board cut in the budget of the government ministries.
"I'm happy about this solution; I worked on this issue and I spoke with the relevant parties, and I'm happy with the result. I understand we're going to make another across-the-board cut to finance it; I won't let it pass. I don't intend to leave this situation of the deficit and the cuts that will hurt the weaker sectors of the population; where do you think they'll cut from?"
In addition, MK Gafni said that he wanted to hold an urgent meeting regarding the closure of Sde Dov Airport.
