Minister Zeev Elkin referred in an interview on Reshet Bet to the budget crisis, following the approval of the law to postpone the budget in second and third reading, saying: "We proved in this crisis that we were willing to turn every stone to prevent elections. We were the first to agree to the law of Hauser, even before Blue and White, and we were the first to accept its renewed version and promoted it tonight. "
Elkin added: "We have not voluntarily given up on the issue of sovereignty. The Americans have decided that at this stage they do not want to support the application of sovereignty, but want to postpone it. Israel has not given up, rather the opportunity to seize a historic agreement was seized."
