Finance Cmte head echoes call to investigate Silman case

Chairman of the Knesset Finance Committee MK Carmel Shama-Hacohen said Sunday that "the terrible tragedy that occurred last night at the Tel Aviv protest demands a thorough investigation of how events snowballed and how the authorities conducted themselves in the matter of Moshe Silman."

On his Facebook page, Shama-Hacohen wrote: "I intend to go to the National Insurance Institute, the Housing Ministry, the Courts Administration, and all the relevant entities to determine how Mr. Silman's affairs were handled. The authorities must examine themselves." (Attila Somfalvi)
