MK Dan Illouz (Likud) addressed government ministers who are discussing their ministries' payrolls as part of the upcoming budget agreement and asked to remind them: "The people of Israel will not judge you by how much money you manage to get from taxpayers for your ministry - this is not a measure of success."
"Real success is streamlining the offices, cutting unnecessary costs, and leaving more money in the hands of the citizen. Always remember that every shekel you ask for is more money that we have to pay in taxes," he added.
