MK Meirav Ben Ari responded in an interview with ynet Studio to Minister David Amsalem mocking her in the Knesset plenum, saying she "polishes shoes for Lapid." She shared: "I was humiliated as a woman, there were misogynistic, chauvinistic comments. He hurt women and damaged the Knesset's status. Revivo and others from the coalition called me, and Likud voters also wrote to me saying 'Amsalem is a minister who disrespects us too.' This is not what our country should be like."
