Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is reportedly making last-minute efforts to reduce an anticipated significant increase in fuel prices. The move comes amid public criticism and accusations that the price hike was coordinated in advance to appear as a reduction later.
Sources suggest that the initial high price was planned, with Smotrich then expected to lower it, a tactic described by critics as a "bluff." The article quotes an unnamed source calling the situation a "bluff" and Smotrich a "liar and a villain."
Despite these efforts, there is skepticism about the effectiveness of Smotrich's intervention, with one comment stating, "It won't help you, you'll be thrown out of the house." The article implies that Smotrich's actions are politically motivated, possibly in response to upcoming elections.
