Trajtenberg Committee
The Trajtenberg Committee (Hebrew: ועדת טרכטנברג) is a commission appointed by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on August 8, 2011, in order to examine and propose solutions to Israel's socioeconomic problems. The committee was established following the 2011 Israeli housing protests. The committee is headed by professor Manuel Trajtenberg, who `was at the time the chairman of the Higher Education Planning and Budget Committee.
On August 8, 2011, Prime Minister Netanyahu appointed a special committee headed by Professor Trajtenberg.
The committee is to operate for a month, during which it will hold discussions with representatives of the protesters, with civil society organizations, and with various sectors of the public. Afterwards, in mid-September, the committee will make its recommendations to the government's socio-economic cabinet, headed by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and composed of 15 ministers. After that, the government will discuss the committee's conclusions.
The committee includes 14 permanent members, 9 of whom are government or public officials and five of whom are from the academia and the private sector.
Two ministers, Michael Eitan and Limor Livnat, were appointed as observers in the committee.
The committee was ordered to investigate:
The committee's recommendations were published in September 2011. The recommendations were perceived to be good for the "hard-working middle classes". They included a slower increase for the defence budget. They were first discussed by the Israeli Cabinet a few days later.
Netanyahu initially promised to push the committee's recommendations through the cabinet in one piece, but there were differences inside the governing coalition and a different approach of gradual implementation was eventually adopted.
