Smotrich aims to cut Israel’s record gas prices, but his plan may be deemed illegal

However, there are concerns that his plan might be considered illegal, particularly as the Attorney General is reportedly considering whether the proposed tax cuts violate legal restrictions, especially given the proximity to upcoming elections.
