Defense Minister and Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comment saying a biennial budget would lead to severe financial cuts was fake news.
"It's all fake. We must introduce a good financial plan for the good of the Israeli public," said Gantz. "It's all a fairy tale, we need one budget, a stable one that takes into account the country's financial uncertainty, we can do this, it's only five quarters."
