The Times of Israel wrote on Monday, the 23rd of Shahrivar that Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, held a security meeting in Jerusalem with Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition to the government.

The publication, citing Lapid’s office, said Netanyahu asked the leader of the opposition to support putting Israel’s budget back on the agenda so that more money could be allocated to Israel’s defense establishment.

Lapid’s office said he agrees to allocating more money to the Israel army, but this money should not be provided by imposing higher taxes on Israel’s middle class or by requiring reserve forces to cover it.
