MK Yaakov Litzman (Torah Judaism) this evening (Wednesday) sharply attacked Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman and called him a "moron."
Litzman, the former health minister, attacked the minister from Yisrael Beiteinu, due to his opposition to MK Dudi Amsalem's (Likud) bill to grant a VAT exemption for the sale of oncology drugs.
"The Ministry of Finance is stupid, they do not understand that the Minister of Finance is stupid, that people should be saved," Litzman said.
"He has an understanding of tennis, he has an understanding of vodka. He has no understanding of that."

The bill's initiator, MK Amsalem, described his experience with the lack of an exemption 12 years ago, from the time his wife was ill (she later died). "I had to buy medicine for my wife for NIS 50,000 a month," MK Amsalem said.
"I suddenly hear from the company: 'Excluding VAT.'
I fell off the chair.
TVs in Eilat are VAT-free, fruits and vegetables are VAT-free.
It's a cure for people who want a few more weeks to live.
I want to see who is the person who did this?
Who opposed it? "
