Minister Katz : 'Ben-Ari has been a close friend of mine for decades'

Welfare and Social Services Minister Haim Katz spoke Sunday before joining the government meeting about the State Attorney's Office's intention to indict him with bribery and the involvement of business Moti Ben-Ari.

"I've been serving as a MK for 20 years, and today I'm the welfare and social services minister. I've legislated more than 180 bills for the benefit the population's weaker sectors," he said.
