Head of the Budget Department at the Finance Ministry Shaul Meridor, criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Israel Katz's plan to distribute a financial grant to every citizen.
"We have to make sure we fire bullets in the most accurate manner," said Meridor. "The crisis will not simply leave us in a month, we must not shoot too many bullets at the same time. "
Despite the criticism, he stressed that "we will implement the decided policy yet we will not stop voicing our position even if some do not like to hear it."
