Lapid to Ynet: Possible to reach agreement regarding budget

As tensions run high between Netanyahu and Lapid over Israel's next budget, Lapid talks to Ynet, reiterates promise not to raise taxes to foot bill.

 

"We can reach an understanding regarding the budget," Finance Minister Yair Lapid told Ynet Saturday ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu scheduled for Sunday.

 

Elaborating, Lapid said "one the one hand we need to give the combative forces extra funding, and preparing the IDF for future challenges, but we also need to take into consideration the needs of Israeli citizens and add funding to social issues. Therefore there is no way we can raise taxes and further burden our citizens."
