Kahlon give up the Finance Committee? Last week it was still his condition

Last week Kulanu negotiating team unexpectedly canceled a meeting with the Likud's negotiating team, following reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu promised the chairmanship of the Finance Committee to MK Moshe Gafni. Tonight (Sunday) members of the Kulanu negotiating team at the Knesset. Kahlon did not mention the Finance Committee.

At the entrance to the meeting, a member of the negotiating team for Kulanu, Mr. Alon Gellert, "We at the Kulanu Party established to renew hope and give a better life for every citizen in Israel. We are here to provide the tools needed to carry out these things."

Kulanu Party chairman, Moshe Kahlon, said at the conference at Kulanu party dinner toast to activists in Airport City "in the last days we have negotiated, we filed our demands and take note - nothing has changed. We want one thing - to succeed where others have failed. Kulanu Party is the hope of hundreds of thousands of people in the country who hope to succeed where others did not want to succeed or failed. We must produce solutions and the Kulanu party will produce these solutions.

A few days ago we recommended to the President to impose the task of forming a government on Benjamin Netanyahu, we accepted the voter's decision. We come to the negotiations with clean hands. We gave the mandate and have not asked for anything, not positions, not to take advantage of this situation; we came honestly, with integrity and humility and said - give us the tools to take care of disadvantaged populations, students, the elderly, the veterans. No one should attempt to identify us with requests for more. I do not envy the Prime Minister who needed to participate in negotiations with other politicians who had the keys to the government in hand.

"We asked for the director of planning to design apartments, we asked for the Israel Lands Administration to release land to build. We did not ask more than that. We asked for tools, not ministers or ambassadors. I will not go into this trap, whoever wants us as partners will accept us as partners, those who want us to take responsibility - we are ready. But give us power. Do not leave us with the responsibility without authority. Give us the tools to solve the housing crisis. If we cannot solve the housing crisis when we have the tools I will not wait to be fired - I will go alone. "

Kahlon did not address the Finance Committee which he demanded upon the opening of negotiations.
