Will the amusing response silence the storm?
Shmulik Silman, her husband, Coalition Chairman MK Idit Silman, caused a great stir this week when he contributed to the mass mobilization campaign for Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense, and later in an interview with Gali Israel even stated that he might support him at the expense of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Chairman of the right-wing party to which his wife belongs.
MK Silman, who did not address her husband's warm attitude towards Netanyahu all week - the opposition leader and the coalition's great critic - decided for the first time to approach the issue in a rather humorous way.
In a video she uploaded to her ticketing account.
"My life, what do you do next time you call to interview you?" Silman is seen in the video with her husband when the caption "Shot on iPhone" appears.

As you may recall, in an interview with Gali Israel, presenter Sharon Gal asked Silman: "You are now at the ballot box, two notes in front of you, Bibi and right, what are you there for?"
Silman replied, "Whoever assembles the larger block, we were wrong about that."
Tap: "Two notes, Bibi or Bennett, who are you there?"
Silman replied, "I do not know."
"I contributed to the recruitment because I love them, the Netanyahu family," Silman explained of his move.
"There are things that are good in the current government and there are things that torment me. Obviously I would have preferred a right-wing government, what is the question, but there was no choice. I am calm when they both pick up the red phone."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
