PM says budget responsible; Kadima: Humiliating extortion
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the biennial budget approved by the Knesset was "good and responsible – both economically and socially." According to Netanyahu, "The budget will continue marching Israel in the right direction."
The Kadima faction said in response that Netanyahu "is not the prime minister of Israel but the shadow of a person handing out money to keep his seat. Israel's citizens have been watching a shameful and humiliating show of economic extortion." (Roni Sofer)
