| Description | Finance Minister Yair Lapid continued laying the groundwork for tough budget cuts through the Passover holiday, posting a video on his Facebook account in which he promised to make “hard” and “unpopular” decisions.
“This will be a long path and an unpopular path, and I’ll make the hard decisions because that’s what you sent me here to do,” Lapid said.
The video, in which Lapid compared his choices to those Moses had to make, followed several days of statements by the Yesh Atid leader preparing the public for difficult cuts. However, despite his comments on Saturday that the fiscal situation was “worse than I expected,” and his Monday comments that economic data had him “very worried,” the fundamental fiscal picture has changed little in recent months. |
