Demonstranterne protesterede også imod den nye regerings budget, der forventes at hæve skatterne betydeligt for Israels arbejder- og middelklasse, samt afskaffe statsydelser som disse samfundsklasser er afhængige af.
The protesters also voiced objections against the budget of the new government, which is expected to significantly raise taxes on Israel's lower and middle-class, while at the same time cutting government services on which those classes rely.
