Science Minister Gila Gamliel sharply criticized Education Minister Yoav Kisch during the government meeting, amid a confrontation regarding across-the-board cuts to the security budget for educational institutions - which the ministers eventually approved. Gamliel told her colleagues, "Do you hear yourselves?! Bunch of amateurs. There needs to be security for children." Kisch responded, "I've been saying this for two months. Gila, you're disconnected and don't understand anything. You're bringing politics into this. All you care about is that you want to be Education Minister." Gamliel replied: "You are the worst Education Minister Israel has ever had."
