Khalon does seem to have his head on his shoulders and has a good track record so I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Likud coalition as finance minister.
I think a coalition that embraces business but also adopts some practical reforms like these could do well.
Labor have already given the finance job to Trjtenberg and his budget is more socialist to practical and no explanation on how its going to be paid for
2. Bibi is responsible for the cell phone competition

Kahlon's main achievement is that when he was Minister of Communications, the cell phone service industry was opened to competition. Netanyahu is also responsible for making this happen & it could not have happened without his approval.
The price of food has also gone down 5% in the last year due in part to more competition introduced by Bennett. I don't think splitting the banks from the credit cards will create more competition, because credit cards themselves are in fact lenders. It would be good if there were more banks in Israel. Today there are 4 large ones that have branches in all major cities - Leumi, Hapoalim, Discount & Mizrachi Tefahot.
