As Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon said when coalition chairman MK David Bitan (Likud) asked for his support: “I don‘t work for you.” That sharp message was aimed at Netanyahu; Bitan was just the relay station.

Ah, and the prime minister coined a term, “Hamutzim” (sourpusses), which he hurled at those citizens who dare to criticize him, his character, the corruption, the moral decay in his personal life, and what’s happened to the country in recent years. At the opening of the next Knesset session, maybe he’ll just give his opponents the finger.
