'I'm not hurting the haredim, I'm helping them'
|
[JPost] - "I didn’t come here to appease anyone. My responsibility is to do what is right for Israel’s economy," declared Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman at the beginning of a briefing for journalists in Jerusalem. "I am not expecting to be popular, but I am prepared to do what is necessary. The most important thing is to make the treasury normal again, after two-and-a-half years without stability."
"My dream would be to maintain 5% economic growth for the next four years," Liberman added.
Liberman discussed the treasury’s plans for the upcoming years, as well as the many controversies and surprises that have already come up during his first 30 days in office. And there have been many.
Liberman enflamed the ultra-Orthodox community last week when he revoked child care subsidies for fathers studying full-time in yeshiva, saying that both parents must now work or study in a non-religious educational institute for at least 24 hours a week in order to receive the benefit.
Necessary background - they don't actually study in ultra-orthodox yeshivas - at most, it's rote memorization.
