A riot within the right:
An argument between two members of the party's Knesset, Shirley Pinto and Avira Kara, exploded and led to Kara leaving the party's WhatsApp group.
A dispute arose between the two over the issue of making businesses accessible to the disabled, after Kara argued that accessibility costs could not be burdened on business people.
Pinto responded by saying that this was a discrimination against the disabled population in Israel, and posted a tweet on her Twitter account in which she wrote: "How can you look at me and 1.8 million people with disabilities and claim that accessibility is communism? Hurting 1.8 million people with disabilities is bullying "The needs of private (legitimate) businesses do not contradict the need for accessibility for people with disabilities. Your statement is immersed in cheap populism!"
Abir @ AbirKara2, how are you able to look at me and 1.8 million people with disabilities and claim that accessibility is communism ??
Injury to 1.8 million people with disabilities is bullying.
The needs of private (legitimate) businesses do not contradict the need for accessibility for people with disabilities.
Your statement is immersed in cheap populism!

The enraged Kara wrote in the party's WhatsApp group "Dumb Party" - and left it immediately.
He returned to her after a few minutes.
The two are now in Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's office in an attempt to reach compromise and reconciliation understandings.
