Does the battle waged by the Haredi headquarters in Likud for Haredi votes go through the "special" children?
MK Yaakov Margi, chairman of the Education Committee, issued a statement last night - following the Ministry of Education's announcement of allocating NIS 160 million for students with special needs and allergic students in the education system - and said: "After a struggle that I led for this population of students, their parents and their children, we can breathe a sigh of relief today, with the Ministry of Education's announcement that it will now allocate large resources that will lead to a solution to the crisis in special education.".
Margi added: "I will continue to be here for students with special needs in all sectors, to compare their budgeting with initial prioritization, and I hope that this will be reflected in the policy of the upcoming government that will be established, in which the Shas movement will continue to be the social marker and wave these flags for the benefit of all students in the education system and disadvantaged populations with special needs.".

The one who launched the attack against Margi is the head of the 'ultra-Orthodox headquarters' in the Likud, MK Dr. Shlomo Kari: "The blindfolding of MK Margi and the Director General of the Ministry of Education Abuhav - the crisis of special education kindergartens in the Mishtar has not been resolved and the discrimination against the children will continue under the auspices of the Education Committee and in violation of the law.".
Kerei Hashim: "The chairman of the Knesset Education Committee took advantage of the last two meetings of the committee for a circus and a wink together with the Ministry of Education, giving the Education Committee's seal of approval for the continued neglect and harm to special education kindergarten children, just to receive a flattering headline as if a crisis that the general media had adequately covered had been resolved.".
Kari added: "The Director General of the Ministry of Education is fooling the public, the minister is silent as if he does not exist and is acting like a puppet of the ministry officials, and the chairman of the committee took advantage of this and put a spotlight on another problem that was supposedly partially and temporarily solved and threw the special children in the school down all the stairs.".
""Oh shame. Oh those who are ashamed to fight for their public, even when it comes to children who need it most. Even without the shows of Margi and Abuhab, I will continue to fight for equal budgeting for kindergartens in the recognized, unofficial special education according to human moral values and according to the law.".
A source close to MK Margi said in response to Haredim 10: "I suggest that Dr. Kari direct 10% out of anger towards the head of his party and the Prime Minister's Office. Dr. Kari pledged in the Education Committee that the Prime Minister's Office is committed and even willing to partially resolve the matter by raising 24 million shekels. It turns out that the Prime Minister's Office is not willing to lift a finger for the benefit of children with special needs and is completely ignoring the current crisis.".
The source added: "Knesset Member Dr. Kari should be respectful and instead of attacking with a heated post, roll up his sleeves and mobilize the office of the head of his party to close the entire budget shortfall for special education children. Surely closing this deficit will also bring the issue of kindergartens in the Mokshaar to a solution.".
According to him, "MK Margi is trying to bring solutions such as raising 160 million shekels for the special education system. There are those who prefer ultimate solutions, or out of the knowledge that they are not applicable... a culture of 'all or nothing' - or perhaps the role of the Haredi headquarters in the Likud forces them to create riots against MK Yaakov Margi, who is acting wisely for the benefit of those children who need an additional budget in order to start the school year in a manner that is more similar to normal.".
""Until Dr. Kari preaches to Margie - he will be honored to preach to Dr. Kari to Bibi...""
