Finance Minister Yisrael Katz has stated his opposition to the proposal coming from the Blue & White party to remove single people from the list of those eligible for a government grant designed to help citizens deal with the ongoing fallout from the coronavirus epidemic.
"I oppose these attempts to leave singles out of the grant plan that is currently under discussion," Katz said. "This would be a harsh blow to soldiers and students who have given so much to the defense of the state and its economy," he said.
