According to representative of the Finance Ministry budgetary unit, Bian Vetad, who participated in a session of the Knesset Special Committee on Tuesday, “the financial reality of dissolving the Knesset and heading to new elections is at least NIS 475 million, which requires a budgetary source that does not exist. The government must point to a budgetary source for this and it will only be the result of reduced government activity”.

The Special Committee continued its talks on the bill as it becomes increasingly likely that there will be new elections since talks to form a coalition government are deadlocked.
