Speaking with the Knesset Channel, MK Menachem Eliezer Moses insists that coalition agreement must be honored and as such, the amended draft law requested by the chareidi lawmakers must be passed into law, its first, second and third readings and only then will the chareidim back the state budget.

Moses explained the chareidim will not back the budget based on promises to back the draft law but the draft law will have to be amended and voted into law and only then will the budget be addressed.

The chareidi MKs are under fire from many coalition and opposition MKs who feel any effort to amend the new draft laws is unacceptable.
