Cabinet Communique

Cabinet Communique
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

At the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday, 17 July 2016):

1. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the following remarks:

"Israel and Turkey recently agreed on a reconciliation process between them.
We assume that this process will continue without any connection to the
dramatic events in Turkey over the weekend.

In recent days, we also experienced the shocking terrorist attack in Nice
and it underscores the need for a unified and aggressive approach in the
face of the murderous terrorism that is attacking the entire world. I sent
condolences -- on behalf of the government and people of Israel – and my
wishes for a recovery to the wounded, via French President Francois
Hollande.


The Palestinian Authority also sent condemnations and condolences, but with
one difference: Here, not only do they not condemn vehicular terrorism, they
encourage it. They glorify the terrorists responsible and finance them and
their families if the terrorists are dead.

Terrorism is terrorism, whether it is in France or Israel, and there must be
a unified approach of condemnation and war on this terrorism – here and
everywhere else.

Today, the Cabinet will discuss a draft biannual budget law. This law will
strengthen economic stability and improve the functioning of government
ministries. They will also be able to receive planning and operational
outlines for two years in a row. Economic stability, control of
expenditures, lowering taxes, reforms with competition – these are what the
Finance Minister and I are working on along with the Cabinet ministers, for
the benefit of the Israeli economy and the citizens of Israel."

2. The Cabinet discussed the implementation of coalition agreements.

3. The Cabinet discussed draft versions of:

* Basic Law: The State Budget for 2017 and 2018; and

* The State Budget Law for 2017 and 2018

and decided:

* to approve, in principle, the aforesaid draft laws;

* to authorize the Ministerial Committee on Legislation to approve – on
behalf of the Cabinet – the versions to be submitted to the Knesset; and

* to request the Knesset House Committee to expedite discussion of the draft
laws.

4. The Cabinet discussed draft legislation on the prevention of illegal
migration and decided:

* to approve, in principle, the aforesaid draft legislation;

* to authorize the Ministerial Committee on Legislation to approve – on
behalf of the Cabinet – the version to be submitted to the Knesset; and

* to request the Knesset House Committee to expedite discussion of the draft
legislation.

5. Interior Minister Aryeh Deri and Interior Ministry Population and
