One of the well-known clichés in the business world is that diamond miners do not go to court.
A word from a jeweler is worth more than signing a contract, but two words, in this case "go fuck yourself", were definitely worth a visit to the Tel Aviv-Yafo district, where a veteran jeweler's request to postpone the suspension in the affair stirring the Ramat Gan diamond exchange was accepted.
This is Amnon Meir, a member of the stock exchange for 30 years.
The story begins on January 14 this year, on the eve of the election.
This was the first meeting in which the diamond dealer attended, and he was surprised to find out that one of the guests was MK Nir Barkat from the Likud.
Meir protested against Barkat's summons and argued that politicians should not be admitted to the diamond exchange.
One of the members of the stock exchange tried to get him out of the hall, and the diamond dealer sent him the curse "Go fuck yourself."
Moreover, Meir even disturbed Barkat during his speech and acted "in an inappropriate manner to a stock exchange member."
There is no Kholkin on these facts.
The day after the incident, an apology was sent and an apology was posted on Facebook, but the stock exchange did not move to the agenda.
Two complaints were filed against the diamond dealer and he was fined $ 500 along with a three-month suspension.

Meir considered the sentence disproportionate and appealed to the court through attorney Ilan Bombach after already running 25 days of his sentence. The first hearing was set for October 25 and until then the suspension was suspended. It should be noted that the diamond exchange elections will be held on December 30, so the suspension continued from that point. Madir, in fact, dismissed the diamond from running in the election. It should be noted that Meir intended to run for the TASE management. Meir claimed that this was an excessive punishment, certainly against the background of precedents of more serious cases and claimed that "the respondent acted in bias and prejudice." let it aggravate the punishment and denied claims of improper motives.
The Court is not inclined to intervene in such cases, but this time the judge Hanna Pliner issued a restraining order. "suspending the applicant from his membership on the Stock Exchange will stop immediately," the judge said, "membership will resume starting from the date of this decision until a different decision" This, after the judge stated that "I am aware of the laws regarding the scope of the limited intervention."

Meir's attorney, Adv. Ilan Bombach, responded to the restraining order: To run in the elections for the management of the stock exchange. "
The Diamond Exchange responded: "We will study the content of the decision and consider our steps accordingly. It should be remembered that the case is scheduled for a substantive hearing in April and at that time we will present our position before the court."
