Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon's ties to Koby Maimon give him a conflict of interest, deputy attorney general rules.

Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber has told Minister of Finance Moshe Kahlon what he undoubtedly already knew - he has a conflict of interest, and is barred from dealing with matters pertaining to the natural gas sector in Israel, due to his ties to Isramco Negev 2 LP (TASE: ISRA.L) co-owner Koby Maimon.

Zilber officially recommended that Kahlon transfer his authority in natural gas affairs to another minister, and said he should avoid taking part in discussion and votes in the Knesset and the cabinet involving them because of his conflict of interest.
