JERUSALEM, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Israel's director of budget at the Finance Ministry resigned on Sunday, claiming intervention by the political echelon, mainly Finance Minister Israel Katz, in professional decisions.
In his resignation letter to the minister, Shaul Meridor wrote that "the ability to perform my duties has become impossible. Unfortunately, you do not allow me and others to formulate policy measures that will enable the Israeli economy to get through the severe coronavirus crisis."
