The stakes are high.&nbsp; If the budget is not passed, the current government, headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, automatically dissolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Yaron Zelekha, President of Ono Academic College\u2019s Higher Academic Council and Director of Accountancy Studies was interviewed about the budget on the \u201cThis Mornin\u201d program broadcast on Israel\u2019s national radio station, Kan 2.&nbsp; During the interview, Zelekha answers questions such as: Does this budget meet the country\u2019s needs? Does it reflect Israel\u2019s aspirations and goals?&nbsp; Zelekha notes that, for one thing, the budget is full of new taxes, in contradiction to a commitment made by Prime Minister Bennett.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full interview can be found at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifatmediasite.com\/ms\/radio\/2021\/11\/03\/11024232.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ifatmediasite.com\/ms\/radio\/2021\/11\/03\/11024232.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28328,"menu_order":544,"template":"","class_list":["post-28327","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/28327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
