Ynet – The 19th Knesset’s first summer session on Monday turned into a barbed verbal bout between Finance Minister Yair Lapid and haredi Knesset members.
Answering haredi criticism of the impending budget cuts, Lapid cynically said: “I understand you’re going through tough times. Weren’t you sitting in the government which created the deficit? Where you on Mars? You were in every government, and you were costly partners.”
