Steinitz: Defense establishment's budgetary campaign – blackmail
None
Speaking ahead of Sunday's cabinet meeting, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz addressed the budgetary dispute with the Defense Ministry. "Over the last month we have been witness to an unprecedented scare campaign carried out by the defense establishment," the minister said.
"In a democratic country the government decides and the army salutes. This situation where the military is undermining cabinet decision through the media is unacceptable." (Yair Altman)
