Finance Minister Yair Lapid commented on recent tax hikes during a video-chat he held with citizens Thursday. Referencing his comments about Riki Cohen, Lapid said that she will now pay NIS 385 (roughly $100) more in taxes. "I don't deny this is a lot of money, nor that she is hurt or angry, but she knows she lives in a State that can be counted on. If she smokes, and cigarettes cost NIS 15 more, then I recommend she quit." (Moran Azulay)
