MK Miki Zohar today (Tuesday) attacked the person who until recently was his partner in the same party, MK Yifat Shasha Bitton.
In an interview with 103FM, the chairman of the coalition told the former chairman of the Corona Committee: "When summarizing the conduct of Yifat Shasha Bitton in the pages of history, it will be written that she was probably the main culprit. Israel has lost thousands of people and has huge credit for this. "Dismiss her, we were not in that number today."
As mentioned, the tension and disagreements between the two began last July, when MK Zohar informed MK Shasha Bitton that she was fired from the chairmanship of the Corona Committee in light of her conduct in coalition discipline and her absence from plenary votes.
The coalition chairman also spoke in favor of the Overcoming Act, saying: “The most important thing is that if the legislature decides on a political issue, there is no court that can change that decision.
He added: "This is a critical thing for any government's ability to act. We did not do that because we never had the majority."
A new Tikva party responded to MK Zohar's remarks against their party member, saying: "Zohar is Netanyahu's emissary who is trying to abdicate responsibility.
The Corona Committee, headed by MK Shasha Bitton, carried out excellent parliamentary oversight, which was expropriated from it by Netanyahu seven months ago.
"Netanyahu is under pressure ahead of the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the serious failures that were discovered in his management of the crisis and is trying to escape his personal responsibility."
