Likud MK Yifat Shasha-Biton responded to her firing on Tuesday, saying that the decision is an attempt by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “prevent serious deliberations, discourse, listening to the public, other voices being heard.”
“I acted according to my conscious,” she said. “I’m also happy that I opened the committee to the public with transparency, seriousness, [and] full attentiveness; and I pledge to also continue to do so in the future in whatever position I’m in.”
