Yisrael Beyteinu faction members announced to the Knesset that they would give up their wage increase.
All members of the faction asked to be dropped from the list of Knesset Members who will receive the expected salary increase early next month. It is estimated that this is a 3% increase, worth about NIS 1,300.
Yisrael Beyteinu's MK Oded Forer: "While the government is dysfunctional, the State is in one of its biggest economic crises, projects are stalling and all activity in the economy is on the brink, it isn't appropriate for Knesset Members to receive extra salaries."
