(VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE)

A new video that was distributed on the social networks is composed of Likud members who turn to Finance Minister Kahlon: “Do not abandon Jerusalem.”

The video, which was distributed Wednesday evening and is already gaining momentum, brings together well-known Jewish activists from all over the country who appeal to the finance minister as a window to demand a proper budget for Jerusalem.

The video was released due to its refusal to pass the amendment to the Basic Law of Jerusalem, which seeks to provide a clear budget for the capital.

The bill was signed by 51 Knesset members from all factions of the Jewish parties except Kahlon’s. This is in spite of the declaration of over 70 MKs that they will support the bill.
