A sharp confrontation in the Knesset plenum between Transport Minister Miri Regev and MK Bezalel Smutrich (right) over her opposition to the Gush Dan metro plan.  

Smutrich, who justified his request for the establishment of a parliamentary commission of inquiry to examine conflicts of interest in the judicial system (which was removed by a majority of 55 MKs against only 4 MKs who supported), attacked Regev in his remarks, claiming that she was destroying stone after stone in the Ministry of Transport.

Smutrich, who served as transport minister before Regev, said: "This is a transport minister who will repeatedly sabotage all the important and professional processes that are supposed to take place in the office so important that under her responsibility, and when there are no achievements, it can be passed on to officials and legal advisers."

The former minister added: "Two days ago you had a statement that you oppose the metro in the Gush Dan area. This is a populist, unfounded and completely illogical statement, behind which there is only one strategy - to clash between populations to rake in a few more votes. You are trying to clash the center of Tel Aviv. "The periphery and you are talking baseless nonsense. Regev is destroying stone after stone in this critical ministry. There is no good part that is not burned.

In doing so, Smutrich referred to what Minister Regev said at the Israel Real Estate Conference of the Globus newspaper. According to her, if the plan is launched, she will oppose it because it is currently necessary to "connect the periphery to the center on another rail network parallel to the coastal railway."

In this we will bring about the dispersal of the population and employment, the movement of workers from the center of the country to the north and south and to Judea and Samaria. " 

Regev asked for permission to speak and responded: "Boring to Smutrich, and he suffers from forgetfulness. What is he doing? He now works for Bennett, for Ayelet Shaked who are squinting at her center. They destroyed religious Zionism, they destroyed the Jewish home. Founded the right, the new right "And now they are squinting at its center."

The Minister of Transport claimed that this was a "mood party that winks at its center."

"Smutrich did terrible things in transportation and was a tool of the officials. He abandoned the periphery and Judea and Samaria. He withheld cash for public transportation in the periphery. Smutrich the great talker, you learned from Bennett just to talk, strong in speech, weak at the ballot box and weak in action."

Meanwhile, MK Smutrich's bill to set up a parliamentary inquiry committee to examine conflicts of interest in the justice system was rejected. 55 MKs opposed it, while only four voted in favor.
