Prof. Yaron Zelekha, chairman of the Economic Party, criticized the grants that were introduced by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Minister of Finance Yisrael Katz.
"This is not an economic plan, this is a soup kitchen. Netanyahu knows that no one will receive the money - two months before an election, it is impossible to make any budget move that was not approved by the Knesset," Zelekha said in an interview with Galei Tzahal (Army Radio).
