This government also sinned by having too many ministers - like the previous one, which was good on many issues." He added: "In the meantime, the previous government handled the coronavirus better, but give the current one time, it's too early to judge it." Regarding the discussions on the state budget, he said: "I will not vote in favor of a budget in which I do not see any reference to social issues." He also referred to the initiative of Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who is promoting a bill according to which a person accused of crimes will not be able to form a government: "I oppose personal legislation, we need to see whether the law applies to many or only to one person.".
