Yair Lapid continues to attack the Haredi public.

This morning, the Minister of Finance was criticized when it became clear that dozens of Haredi non-profit organizations were paralyzed because of his decision not to issue them with an association permit. This is despite the fact that they had already been approved by the Tax Authority. As a result, most of them are completely paralyzed.

The chairman of the Finance Committee, MK Nissan Slomiansky, responded and said: "It is a scandal that Lapid is making a selection based on his worldview, he is acting in violation of the law." The remarks were published in The Marker.

'Globes' reported that Prof. Yakir Plesner, former deputy governor of the Bank of Israel, said that Minister Lapid "does not understand what the officials are explaining to him" and that "he is a total failure." Although the remarks were not made in the context of the associations specifically, they can certainly shed light on all of his actions.

It was also learned that some of the associations intend to approach the High Court of Justice.
