Coalition Speaker MK Mickey Zohar responded in an interview on Reshet Bet to Defense Minister Gantz's refusal to support a one-year budget, saying experts say a two-year budget is problematic. He said, "This is the position of the professionals. I personally favor a two-year budget but at the end of the day the position of the professionals is different."
Regarding sovereignty, Zohar said: "The challenges are with the US government. That we will not recognize a Palestinian state, Heaven forbid. The agreement with Blue and White allows us to bring the matter to the Knesset even without their consent."
