Shas Chairman MK Aryeh Deri announced his opposition to the bill proposed by Avichai Boaron (Likud), revealed by ynet, which would equalize ministers' and Knesset members' salaries with those of judges. According to him, 'Shas will oppose any initiative to raise MKs' and ministers' salaries at this time. In the midst of a war, when entire populations are dealing with budget cuts - this is not the time nor the moment.'
