Lapid: Will not pass a budget that sells short the middle class

Finance Minster Yair Lapid spoke at the ICT International Terror conference and addressed 2015 budget saying "If anyone thinks that I will pass a budget that will sell short the middle class again in the service of political and security paralysis than they don't understand why I entered the political arena".

Lapid also spoke about the diplomatic process saying it is "stuck and the only logical idea laid on the table is the idea of a regional conference".

"The prime minister needs to know that should he decide to participate in such a conference he will receive a wide political support from us, which will release him from the tight shackles of the far right," Lapid added.
