What was said in the plenum
The discussion concerns the 2007 Budget Bill in first reading, following the Second Lebanon War, discussed against the background of the need to cover security expenses on one hand and address social hardships on the other. Much of the discussion revolved around the question of whether the budget harms weaker populations (the elderly, children, discharged soldiers, immigrants, people with disabilities) compared to macroeconomic successes (growth, stability, international confidence), and around the Arrangements Law accompanying the budget.

Hebrew original
הדיון עוסק בהצעת חוק התקציב לשנת 2007 בקריאה ראשונה, לאחר מלחמת לבנון השנייה, הנדונה על רקע הצורך לכסות הוצאות ביטחוניות מצד אחד ולטפל במצוקות חברתיות מצד שני. חלק גדול מהדיון סבב סביב השאלה אם התקציב פוגע בשכבות החלשות (קשישים, ילדים, חיילים משוחררים, עולים, נכים) לעומת הצלחות המקרו-כלכלה (צמיחה, יציבות, אמון בין־לאומי), וסביב חוק ההסדרים הנלווה לתקציב.
Arguments for
None were made.
Arguments against
- The budget freezes or cuts allowances (old age, children, disability, unemployment, long-term care) and thereby harms the weakest populations in society.Dan Naveh (Likud), Zevulun Orlev (National Union–NRP), Sara Marom Shalev (Gil), Colette Avital (Labor), Nissim Zeev (Shas), Moshe Kahlon (Likud), Effie Eitam (National Union–NRP), Yakov Cohen (United Torah Judaism), Nadia Hilou (Labor), Shmuel Halpert (United Torah Judaism), Michael Melchior (Labor), Elhanan Glazer (Gil), Shelly Yachimovich (Labor), Ahmad Tibi (Ra'am–Ta'al), Moshe Sharoni (Gil), Stas Misezhnikov (Yisrael Beytenu), Amnon Cohen (Shas), Silvan Shalom (Likud)
- This is an anti-social budget that deepens poverty and inequality gaps instead of reducing them, contrary to the government's promises of social justice.Zevulun Orlev (National Union–NRP), Sara Marom Shalev (Gil), Colette Avital (Labor), Nissim Zeev (Shas), Moshe Kahlon (Likud), Effie Eitam (National Union–NRP), Yakov Cohen (United Torah Judaism), Nadia Hilou (Labor), Shmuel Halpert (United Torah Judaism), Michael Melchior (Labor), Eliahu Gabbay (National Union–NRP), Yakov Margi (Shas), Jamal Zahalka (Balad), Shelly Yachimovich (Labor), Ahmad Tibi (Ra'am–Ta'al), Amnon Cohen (Shas), Avishay Braverman (Labor), Silvan Shalom (Likud)
- There is a damaging cut to infrastructure and important projects (railways, roads, hospitals such as Ashdod, mental health, research and development, higher education) that harms long-term growth and the periphery.Dan Naveh (Likud), Zeev Elkin (Kadima), Ophir Pines-Paz (Labor), Moshe Kahlon (Likud), Eli Aflalo (Kadima), Michael Melchior (Labor), Eliahu Gabbay (National Union–NRP), Alex Miller (Yisrael Beytenu), Arieh Eldad (National Union–NRP), Silvan Shalom (Likud)
- The budget is prepared without real planning, out of inertia and lack of clear prioritization, and is influenced by coalition and political considerations rather than actual needs (such as the Arrangements Law, which inserts and removes clauses without in-depth discussion).Zevulun Orlev (National Union–NRP), Michael Melchior (Labor), Nissan Slomiansky (National Union–NRP), Avigdor Itzchaky (Kadima)
- The harm to discharged soldiers, Ethiopian immigrants, the Arab sector and Torah institutions constitutes unjustified and improper discrimination.Moshe Kahlon (Likud), Esterina Tartman (Yisrael Beytenu), גאלב מג'אדלה, Yakov Cohen (United Torah Judaism), Nadia Hilou (Labor), Jamal Zahalka (Balad), Ahmad Tibi (Ra'am–Ta'al), Stas Misezhnikov (Yisrael Beytenu)
