MK Nir Barkat (Likud) addressed the plight of small business owners and the self-employed, and specifically a video clip made by a falafel stand owner who broke down in tears as he described what he is going through.
"Mr. Finance Minister, wake up before it's too late," he said. "Yuval's cry is heartbreaking - 'With these hands, I provided food for my children. How long can I carry on like this?' The only solution is to give direct and immediate assistance straight into the bank accounts of the self-employed," he concluded.
