Minister Steinitz: Every argument over haredim borders on hysteria
None
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz addressed Sunay the haredi allowance plan issue which is set to be brought before the government for approval and said that "it is saddening that every issue that concerns haredim becomes a public and media argument that borders on hysteria".
He believes that the law includes a major turnabout: "The haredi population could until now, get an allowance for life, now they know in advance that they need to think of employment options within a few years and undergo professional or vocational training." (Ronen Medzini)
